Losing 10-20 one-and-done players will not hurt college basketball; on the contrary it will be a good thing. NCAA basketball did quite well before the NBA instituted an age limit in 2006.

Not really. It lost out on tons of players who had no business entering the draft.

Can anybody name any of those players? And how many is a ton? Losing out on those players doesn't seem to have diminished the popularity of college basketball very much, if at all. It could probably be said of some of those players that they had no business entering college either.
