Why is NCAA successful?

"We look at guys now we're thinking about drafting who have already committed to a school. That in turn gives you two extra years. ... You don't have to make a decision on him in one or two years, you may get four. College allows guys to go to school and develop."

Flyers President Paul Holmgren Philadelphia Daily News, March 19, 2014
