RE: NCAA Report
Seems strategic to let players reenter the NCAA if they don't like their draft status, and allow for agents into the process. This muddies everything, making enforcement all the harder, and all the easier to let things go from an accountability standpoint. Because, you can have agents playing this game of forcing schools to compete for kids while kids have non-NBA pro/semi-pro options available to them. Try forcing a school to make sense of it all. Try forcing the NCAA to do...well...anything.
In other words, it feels like an end-around for the FBI thing. A "we're moving forward, not backward" moment to minimize how utterly ridiculous and corrupt it's been (and is), and now suddenly embracing a newer, more progressive alternative that will be played out about how "student athlete-friendly" it is, but all it really does is allow the big money-makers to keep doing what they do for the body without having to worry about punishment.
And I don't know how it doesn't get taken for that when the *other* student-athlete friendly thing there, the transfer rule, is kept in place. School always gets its slice. House always wins.

some big things heard so far(haven't seen it yet)
ending 1 and dones
if you go to NBA draft and don't get drafted- allowed to return to college
players allowed to sign with agent and remain NCAA eligible
far stiffer punishments for coaches who break rules
changing July where only events coaches could go to are NCAA events instead of the ones put together by shoe companies.
keeping in place sit out rules for transfers
Does this mean a change in football also. It may not be as much of an effect. but seems more players would announce to go to the draft. This would seem to effect recruiting because of the draft date.
They were not directed to make recommendations for football.
The CBS podcast noted something about the impact of such a change in Bylaws.
Basically, if one declares and does not get drafted, the point of signing with an agent is to get "one's foot in the door" for a job: Summer League, G League, training camp invite, or with a club internationally.
It does not mean that the changes would not be forced to include football. That seems unrealistic to me.
