Reply to comment by Sdog1981 in TIL a woman was once drafted by the NBA but had to turn the team down bc she was pregnant. She’s also in the hall of fame. by Desolecontra

There is a lot of money and power tied to college basketball. It is big business and they were protecting their interests by keeping good players from skipping right into the big leagues. It's not right, but that's what people with money and power do.
