Mike is right. The Union and the league would need to negotiate this in their next contract. Most NBA players would be fine with this because it gives them another year without the additional talent to compete against and there will be some concession given to the senior players also.

You are 1/2 right. The NBA had to fight the players to get the rule change, eventhough it helps the vets. Maybe if more of them had gone to college (or class), then they could understand that.
I've heard that Stern is trying to push for the 2 year/20 yr old players, which would be great for the NBA and probably good for college basketball (Texas with Durant again this year!).
I really don't see this hurting mid-majors that much. Beasley is the best prospect in the NCAA right now and his team didn't do much (like Durant last year). You still had Oden (and Rose this year) on a better team that did well of course. In the end, the big programs will still get the good prospects, and the smaller schools will have a lot more project players.
The 3 point line is moving out not in and if players stay in college 1 more year then there will be extra players that would trickle down to the other schools.
Yes, but it was nothing major.
David Stern announced the minimum age rule for the NBA would not change, and Myles Brand announced a joint NBA and NCAA initiative to "enhance youth basketball programs across the United States in terms of educating young people, coaching and officiating."
