Every college athlete is getting screwed to some degree by the NCAA, all in the name of money, but few get a shorter end than basketball players. They can’t consult with an agent during the draft process. They can’t come back to school if they go undrafted, and they aren’t allowed to skip college and go straight to the NBA. All of that sucks and is stupid and terrible.
The NCAA is ready to change that ... uh, kinda, but not really, but maybe. It felt like a bold proclamation this afternoon when the NCAA announced adjustments to its rules that, among other things, allow players to consult with agents after declaring for the draft.
