Why not just give it the same treatment as NCAA baseball?

If a guy gets drafted and wants to go fine, if he feels like he can be higher next year he can turn it down and return to school.

I don't see an issue with this.

One negative is that the NCAA has no say whatsoever in how professional leagues determine draft eligibility.

NCAA has no control over draft rules.

Bc NCAA is colluding with NFL and the NFL doesn't want to worry if player will sign or not


My guess

These draft rules aren't from the NCAA. They are collectively bargained which opens up a whole other can of worms

Most don't. But as said, it's a pro rule anyway and the NCAA isn't going to turn those players away (or connections with those pro leagues) by creating a rule of their own.

Of course for baseball you have a well established developmental league for those guys that go ahead and decide to go so that makes a difference.

In a perfect world, a kid should be able to make the most informed decision possible about whether to stay in school or to go pro. At the very least, allow them to see where they will be drafted before deciding to leave. But that would require coordination between the NCAA and NFL/NBA when it comes to amateur rules.
