I like the idea I heard on ESPN the other day. Free agency occurs 7 years after you graduate HS. If you want to come out early, great, but your stuck for 7 years. Play college ball, and then you get to leave earlier. This way some team isn't stuck with the bill while a kid matures into a star for another team.

My only argument there is that the team that drafts the kid knows that he'll become a free agent in 3 years, yet they draft them anyway. The two players that have most recently come directly out of high school and had an impact, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett, are still with the same team that drafted them.
