Following the FBI’s investigation into the crooked world of college basketball, the NCAA released a new set of rules aimed at curbing illegal tactics, particularly in recruiting. Here are some of the most significant ones pertaining to the NBA and what they could mean going forward.
All players who get invited to the NBA Combine but go undrafted will have the option to return to their former school.
My take: This is a good rule in my mind — for the players, at least. While most players who leave college early and declare for the draft only do so because they have been all but assured they will be drafted, there are those who decide to take a risk and make the extremely tough choice of declaring for the draft with no such assurances.
