LeBron James is calling out the NCAA for its new criteria for agents of NBA draft hopefuls.
The NCAA already issued new rules on amateurism and the NBA draft in 2019, and part of those allowed NCAA players who declared for the draft to hire agents before the event to test the waters and maintain eligibility. But the NCAA is now instituting an agent certification program that will start in August, requiring students testing the draft waters to be represented by a NCAA-certified agent.
CBS Sports’s Jon Rothstein first reported the criteria, but the list appears on an NCAA agent certification site.
