LaVar Ball is a man full of ideas, creating Big Baller Brand as a disruptive force among corporations. Whether you bought the merchandise or support Triple B at any level, Ball has certainly made its presence felt at a mainstream level.
Now, LaVar’s looking at another disruptive venture, this time taking aim at the NCAA and college athletes. Ball is founding the Junior Basketball Association, a league that’s focus is paying top high school prospects up to $10,000 per month for playing in the league, as LaVar shared with SLAM Magazine.
The plan is to create a league young players can turn to to get paid coming out of high school, creating an alternative to playing in the NCAA.
