Why are they creating the strongest possible rule they can in the first place? No one who is under playing this seems to be able to answer the why here? Why in 2019 does this rule need to be put in place? Is there a pandemic of non-college educated agents ruining kids lives during the pre-draft process causing them to either forfeit eligibility or intentionally/unintentionally giving them bad advice leading them not getting drafted? How would the NCAA know? Why would the NCAA care? This is an arbitrary barrier set-up that may seem meaningless but ultimately is a barrier none the less that has no business existing.
The NCAA does a lot of things that seem pointless.

I just think it’s a massive reach to suggest this is about one guy that won’t even be really affected by this.

This has been explained countless times in this thread. The NCAA rather keep a fringe 2nd/rounder undrafted player then have player enter the draft based off unreliable advice from a non-qualified agent. I dont understand why it's so difficult of a concept for you.

You're saying the exact same thing Max said this morning

This is complete garbage. I skimmed a lot of this thread so I missed the whole explained "countless" times thing so I assumed the why would be something profound. This is fukking garbage...even if that is the goal it's still completely unacceptable and the NCAA should be ashamed of themselves.

Thats not the strongest rule possible though.

There's nothing preventing the NCAA from disallowing agents from repping student athletes completely...like they had for the entire history of the organization up until last year


Make no mistake, I don't think there's anyone here that believes the NCAA is some kind of benevolent actor by and large...fukk them and I'm all for these players subverting and going around it whenever possible...but we still have to discuss these rules and policies as what they really are.... the actual spirit of the rule is to strongly encourage these fringe players who might not be drafted to hire a real, experienced, credentialed agent before declaring... obviously the primary reason is because they prefer those players stay in college...I know we'll never get some of y'all to admit that on average that a real agent may be able to give more relevant draft advice than a layman, if only because of connections...but that's a consideration as well

None of this prevents a soul from following the exact path Rich Paul took to become a NBA power player...and affects him hardly at all other than boosting his brand with all this faux martyrdom going on... having this known as "the rich Paul rule" is the type of marketing that, again, literally can't be paid for

Once a black man becomes super successful at something they start trying raise the barrier of entry. :martin:


But the Coli hates Rich Paul by proxy of it’s Bron hate so I know how this thread will turn out.

But that's the thing he's not super successful. He's an average agent. He's not getting fringe players overpaid or anything like that.

I've never really understood the hate for Paul outside of him being right with LeBron. But if you hate LeBron like I do, you can separate the other stuff.

He does the job he's supposed to do for his clients. That's it. :yeshrug:

This is so unnecessary by the NCAA. But they specialize in doing unnecessary shyt so...

Are we all missing that it is a select few players who NCAA will deem eligble for the test the water program will have an NCAA agent, why are the media acting like this is wide spread

Plenty of players put their name in the draft and return to school after they talk to league guys. This would prevent them from signing with a guy without a bachelor's degree.

THREAD TITLE MAKES ZERO SENSE...

RICH PAUL WOULDNT BE REPRESENTING A CLIENT
WHO IS TESTING THE WATERS
AND MAY GO BACK TO COLLEGE.
:devil:
:evil:


This as well. It' seems Klutch only wants to deal with superstar level kids coming out of college and dudes already cemented in the league.

The rule in place is you don't hire an agent and you can go back to the NCAA am i correct, as long as you don't hire an agent you can do that RIGhT NOW...

if you hire an agent as of RIGHT NOW you can't go back to the NCAA am i wrong
