NCAA Proposes New Rule to Let Early NBA Draft Entrants Come Back to School

Jim Boeheim's never shy to speak his mind (obviously). And while you can choose to agree or disagree with his general point of view on some things, there's one very important thing he's been 100-percent correct on.

Based on a report today, it very well might -- in time for the 2016 NBA Draft.

The proposal, reported by ESPN, would be an enormous step forward for the NCAA's process and would actually (somehow!) benefit student-athletes, as well as NCAA programs AND NBA teams (at least in my opinion). The basics: underclassmen would be able to go the pre-draft combine in May and get an honest evaluation from scouts there, before making their final decisions about whether or not to enter the draft.
