While the NBA would probably prefer to change that rule, it’s not a priority, nor is it for the players union, which would have to sign off on it. This look at the NBA CBA predicts there will be no change at all. As I have posted here before, while the rule clearly hurts college basketball and encourages players to be less than serious about their college education, neither the NBA nor the players care about those issues; it’s not their job to try to make college basketball better, or even to encourage kids to go to class.
