I don't see an issue with this.

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.
