NCAA rule changes likely to affect Maryland basketball players

The NCAA announced a few rule chances Wednesday that will make things easier for players thinking about entering the NBA Draft. This could affect Maryland more than most other schools in the nation, as all three of the team's top scorers have eligibility remaining after this season.

The NCAA voted to push back the date necessary for players to remove their name for the NBA Draft to 10 days following May's NBA Draft Combine. Previously, players were forced to declare for the draft prior to National Signing Day in April. Also new: players can participate in one tryout per NBA team without losing their remaining years of eligibility.
