A Turner College News & Notes entry from mid-October of last year reported that the AACSB research portfolio compiled through that date by Turner College business faculty was behind schedule when compared to the previous two successful reaccreditation efforts.

This ended the so-called prep-to-pro pipeline and instead  meant that all potential prep-to-pro caliber U.S. high school basketball stars would compete collegiately for at least one season before joining the NBA. It also led to popular use of the phrase “one-and-done” by basketball coaches, players and fans as a replacement for the outdated “prep-to-pro” mantra. New research by Turner College economist Frank Mixon , Auburn University's Steven Caudill, Florida Atlantic University's Jo ã o Ricardo Faria and Artois University's Laura Ciucci examines both  ...
