  5. Athletes Would Finish Education • Problems now with the NBA’s requirement • Bob Knight’s thought on the rule http://www.playingfieldpromotions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Bobby-Knight.jpg

  6. Athletes Would Finish Education • 80 percent of high school athletes that went to NBA became millionaires before turning 21 • Most athletes don’t finish or receive degrees http://www.ecu.edu/cs-cas/biology/images/money_1.jpg

  7. The Gain Vs The Risk • Risk of Injuries • Does money affect choice? • Hype for the league

  8. Conclusion • In conclusion I believe that all professional sports leagues should make an age requirement because it would show they care about education, they care about their player’s well being, and that they care about the player’s career after sports.
