5fouls Posted August 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 One very large caveat to the 'going undrafted and returning to school' thing is that it only applies to players that were invited to the Combine. That was only 7 players from this last draft class Guys that declare, don't get invited to the combine, cannot return, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Another caveat -- The brilliant NCAA didn't bother to check with the NBA when it decided on and then announced these proposed changes. The NBA, per current reports, is not happy and not on board. Query: What other institutions are run as poorly as the NCAA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 I think these NCAA rules changes deserves it own thread. But that is just me. But I will opine. The hiring an agent part intrigues me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fan of both the NCAA and NBA, I really don't have a problem with them not checking, only because it is not like the NBA checked with the NCAA when they did the one and done rule or any other rule that affects college basketball. While the NCAA caused some of their current issues, it really stems from the one and done rule and even the NFL's can't draft someone unless they are a Junior in college (or whatever it is). This caused more people who had no business going to college to go. If they wanted more control, they should invest more into or start their own minor league system, instead of freeloading off the college basketball and football, which is what they do.

Seeking6 Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Regarding yesterday announcement I guess the one thing I'll be very interested to follow is which schools elect to certify agents and which agents get certified. To me that could be very telling on where some of the past corruption has been. For example if our man South of the Ohio immediately certifies 3 agents for his kids.....if I'm the NCAA I start sniffing around a bit in the agents past.

Another ballyhooed rule change from the NCAA: Collegiate players will be permitted to hire an agent after the completion of each collegiate season. The NCAA also extended that rule change for agent representation to "elite" high school prospects (as identified by USA Basketball); those elite high school players will be allowed to hire an agent starting on July 1 before their senior year of high school.

BobSaccamanno Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Sorry if I missed it already posted but former East Chicago star Junior Bridgeman, who is reportedly worth some $600 million, is in talks to buy Sports Illustrated, amongst other bidders. Junior had a tremendous athletic career, playing with Pete Trgovich (UCLA) and Tim Stoddard ( mlb star) on one of the great high school teams in Indiana history. He went on to a nice college career at Louisville and was picked eighth overall in the NBA draft. He had a notable NBA career. But, he’s been even better as a truly brilliant businessman. https://www.courier-journal.com/story/sports/college/louisville/2018/08/05/junior-bridgeman-sports-illustrated-bid-louisville-basketball/910134002/ This book link references Junior and how he had already committed to Louisville when Coach Knight arrived. https://books.google.com/books?id=Wk_rW5ls5ZMC&pg=PA87&lpg=PA87&dq=did+iu+recruit+junior+bridgeman&source=bl&ots=EY3Etpf1T8&sig=xjcFPRqWSbZIWtBuAFf_eEpAg6A&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj5pOri8d3cAhURSq0KHe9gAkkQ6AEwBXoECAQQAQ#v=onepage&q=did iu recruit junior bridgeman&f=false Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
