NCAA Reforms Are Not That Impressive

We've gone over some, but not all, of the reforms the NCAA announced on Wednesday and can only call it underwhelming.

Some of the highlights are that players can return to school if they’re not drafted, that players can have a relationship with an agent and that the NCAA is moving on summer basketball, currently dominated by the AAU and apparel companies.

But all of these are half-measures. You can only return after the draft if you were invited to the NBA combine which means that only a handful of players each year would have the option and almost all of those would have either two-way offers or overseas deals.
