The Latest: NCAA approves changes to enforcement process
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Latest on reforms adopted Wednesday by the NCAA aimed at cleaning up college basketball (all times local):
3 p.m.
Agents will have at least a limited place within the NCAA structure when it comes to college basketball.
The NCAA's rule changes include allowing players to work with an agent while declaring for the NBA draft. College players would have to request an evaluation from the NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee on their draft prospects. The rules would also allow elite high school players to work with an agent if the NBA removes its one-and-done rule.
The agent would have to be certified by the NCAA no later than August 2020. Until then, agents certified by the NBA players' union would qualify.
Agents would be allowed to cover minimal expenses such as meals and transportation tied to meetings or workouts with pro teams. The agent's work would stop if the player enrolls in or returns to college.
