Now there will be different plays, because as you say the players are better. They will wow us in ways the majority of the NCAA players wont. However they can do that within the rules because they are better. Just because they are highly skilled does that mean we have to allow them to travel? Does that mean we have to allow them to displace a player along the baseline (Shaq)? No, not in my opinion.

Please tell me you're kidding.
Please tell me that you're smarter than that.
Pick a sport. Pick any sport and tell me that the rules are the same at the lowest level that they are at the pro level. You can't because there isn't one. All sports have rules that are based on the level of player, talent, and skill of the players who play the game. Are Little League rules the same as OBR? Are NFHS rules the same as OBR? Are NFHS rules the same as NFL rules? No, no, and no.
The rules always change as the level of play, talent, and skill improve.
