They Trying To Make Sure We'll Never See Another Rich Paul

[ALonelyDad]

It's a stupid rule regardless, who cares if you go to college or not. If you are successful and experience at your craft you should be able to do it. And these days most easily have a bachelor degree in that field so its hard to see how its not related to Rich Paul

 

[Long Live The Kane]

If I was Rich Paul the thing I’d be mad at the disrespect of this rule more so than how it affects me personally(because it really doesn’t)

I can all but guarantee you Rich is ecstatic over this shyt... It doesn't affect him in the slightest and he's got an invaluable amount of positive media coverage because of this... This narrative that he's some lone wolf battling the "system" endures him to an entire generation of potential clients, all the while Klutch is owned in significant part by one of the biggest agencies in the business...it's like these rap smarks in the booth that get geeked over "independent rappers" that are actually backed by the majors

Where was this logic at with Jeffrey Epstein? Dude was a college dropout managing billions of dollars for his pedophile white clients That’s different though huh?

[Skooby]

Good. I like the rule.

No player is signing to rich Paul to test the waters so this is a moot point.

Its not a moot point. Punishing a kid for jumping out there and not getting selected because his agent didn't finish his bachelors in Bakery Science at K-State is crazy. Even though he could be a great agent already working 25 years with pros? Whether its Rich Paul or anybody else.
All this rule is trying to accomplish is holding kids out of school and being able to point the finger at the advisor/agent instead of addressing the NCAA's need to pay players. If you have no interest in paying players, let the kids go back to school if they don't get drafted. A fringe pro is still probably the best player on lots of school's teams. Let the coaches/AD make the decision if hes needed or not.

Only can Klutch Media Spin Cycle make a guy backed by CAA and dating the daughter of a powerful Hollywood Executive appear to be persecuted.

Good. I like the rule.

These dudes to dense to realize this is gonna help kids more than it hurts.

Yall calling people c00ns but I have not seen one person in here articulate how this is gonna prevent a rich Paul situation? Posting media clips doesnt accomplish shyt, explain in your own words, quit hiding behind other people....

Social media might be the worst invention ever


Even if you think it’s a good or bad rule it’s not a big deal and it won’t affect the top players at all

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

I didn't say a word about Rich Paul. Let me repeat myself:

"There's something like 15-20x as many White men with college degrees than Black men. But you're cool with this so long as only those guys rich enough to hire other degreed agents underneath them can still work. Meaning ZERO opportunity for entry-level Black men with no degree."

The NCAA is creating the strongest rule they can over what they can control. They literally couldn't create a rule more disadvantageous to agents without a college degree.




The rule doesn't say more than that because the NCAA has no control over what someone does in the NBA. But they're creating the strongest rule they can within the realm they control.

Your shyt about "zero agency experience" makes no sense - first off, literally every agent has to start somewhere, and second off, whether or not you have a college degree has nothing to do with how much agency experience you have or anything else about being a good agent.

Exactly. Which means it’s not a big deal

 

[Phantum]

There’s nothing c00nish about it. Rich Paul hires agents while he owns the agency.

Nothing changes. Rich Paul just has to make sure the agents who handle his clients have a college degree. This is what Jay does with Roc Nation Sports.


Oh yeah

Not really point. WHY does he have to go through all that to do his job? How does a college degree protect the student athlete? What's next? Irrelevant shyt like checking credit scores?

Exactly. Which means it’s not a big deal

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.
