Everything You Need to Know About the NCAA’s New Agent Rule

Yesterday, in its ever increasing (yet equally poor) attempt to “clean up” college basketball following the FBI trials, the NCAA reportedly enacted a new rule about the agent certification process.

And woooooooah buddy did it cause an uproar on the internet.

The rule, which was first reported by Jon Rothstein, calls for agents who want to represent players testing the NBA Draft waters – aka, mostly fringe, second round picks – to reach minimum qualifications, such as having a bachelor’s degree and taking a test at NCAA headquarters in Indianapolis.

Seems simple enough.

Yet since the rule was reported it has created upheaval.
