But remember in baseball you can be drafted and signed right out of high school. And unlike most other sports once drafted baseball there is still quite a process to go through to make the top of the ladder(MLB). So there is the big difference which the NBA once had but removed in a CBA. So for this to happen it would have to be bargained with the NBA players association. The NCAA has no say in the matter. Obviously they would like to keep players longer but if the NBA changes the rules on player eligibility the NCAA had no say over that.
