The NCAA Convention brought interesting changes to the table in the world of college basketball and the way athletes are able to approach the NBA. From the NCAA:
“Another proposal to be considered by the Council will make the process of declaring for the NBA draft more flexible for students competing in NCAA men’s basketball. The proposal moves back the date by which students must declare for the draft and allows them to declare more than once in a college career. The declaration date is now the day before the first day of the spring National Letter of Intent signing period; the new date would be 10 days after the NBA combine. The most recent NBA combine was held May 13-17, 2015. Additionally, if the proposal were adopted, students could try out with different NBA teams and still return to school.”
For the athletes sake, I hope it happens. It shouldn’t be more difficult than it has to be. For the fans sake, I hope it happens, too. It would give a allow a better product for the NBA and the NCAA.
