Pac-12 task force proposes end to 'one-and-done' age-limit rule

After roughly five months of discussion and research, the Pac-12 task force created in response to the FBI investigation into corruption in college basketball has finalized several recommendations for change and submitted them to the NCAA Commission on College Basketball.

The most notable proposal included in the 50-page report is to end the so-called "one-and-done" age-limit rule that states a player must be 19 years old or one-year removed from his high school class graduation to be drafted in the NBA, and institute a model that more closely resembles what is used in baseball. In the Pac-12's proposal, prospects who are would retain the option to head to college, but should they choose the college route would not be eligible to be drafted again until after their third season on campus -- like baseball and football.
