KD calls for abolition of 1-and-done rule: Let kids make their own decisions

Kevin Durant called for the abolition of the one-and-done rule in the wake of another scandal involving the NCAA.

The 2014 MVP argued that players should hold control over their future and be responsible for the consequences that come as a result of their choice to either go straight to the NBA or to head toward college.

"They should let these kids make a decision however they want to. If they want to come out of high school that should be on them," Durant said. "You can't control everything. If they feel as though they're ready, that's on them. If they want to make a decision on their life, that's on them. If they don't get drafted, that's on them."

Another bombshell report was dropped on the NCAA on Friday as an ongoing FBI investigation found spreadsheets from AGM Sports that revealed a few dozen former and present NBA players who received cash advances while they were in college.

Durant wasn't surprised to see players receive improper benefits since there will always be a disconnect stemming from collegiate players not being paid for the games they appear in.

"They go out there, and they slave for these programs to go out there to win a championship just to bring a good vibe to these programs. Most of these fans go to the games to see these players, just like in the NBA they want to see the best players, but they're not getting paid for it. And now I can understand why the other stuff starts to happen," Durant said.

Durant, who attended one season at Texas, entered the NBA draft after just one year in college and immediately found success at the professional level. But if the option were available then to skip college altogether and go directly to the NBA, Durant would have done so.

"Yeah, probably. I needed the money," Durant told Anthony Slater of The Athletic.
