IMO the schools or the NCAA should make it a requirement to sign a commitment to remain in school and complete a degree or course of study if accepting a scholarship to attend, with a proviso that scholarship $$ must be repaid if the player leaves before the course of study is completed and joins the NBA.
It's unlikely that either the NCAA or the individual schools would do that - they take full advantage of milking the one year they get out of the 'superstar' high school kids, so the value of the scholarship is outweighed (in their view) by the revenue brought in either by their tournament appearance and/or TV appearances. Those schools that are truly interested in 'scholar-athletes' don't recruit the high school All-Americans. You also likely won't catch a game of theirs on TV either.
