With NBA Draft decisions rolling out, now’s a good time to go over the rules and deadlines for early entrants. Let’s start with the rules, which have changed in the wake of the FBI college hoops scandal.
New Rules
Certified agents are now allowed
After the FBI’s report into bribery in college hoops went public last year, the NCAA voted to change the rules to allow players to be represented by NCAA-certified agents after the season as long as they request an evaluation from the NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee (UAC). Agents will be allowed to pay for meals, transportation, and lodging for players and their families during the agent selection process and meetings with teams; however, players must end that relationship if they decide to return to school.
