The NCAA has passed a rule called The Rich Paul Rule which states that sports agents will have to meet a couple of requirements before they represent players. The NCAA says they did this to protect student-athletes from getting bad advice from sports agents who were out for themselves. It is not a very popular rule. |

So... there are several places you can get a Bachelor's degree that don't mean squat, and they'll be happy to take your money.

I don't understand how a bachelor's degree would ensure that an agent isn't out for themselves. There are really scummy people with bachelor's, master's, and doctorate degrees.

The idea is good in theory to avoid unqualified people from advising kids but I find the argument interesting

NCAA amended the rule. Now you need to just be certified and be in good standing with the NBPA. Still think the NCAA is once again sticking its nose where it doesn't belong, but it's less ridiculous.

Remember the John Oliver bit where colleges were just enrolling promising athletes for Urdu or something so they could play sports without having to actually hit a decent grade? |

I'm looking at places like Chicago State in the region. |

The NBPA issued a statement saying that they're refusing to comply with the NCAA's new certification process primarily because it would hold regulatory/investigating power over their agents. If that's the case, I wonder how the NCAA will respond or if this process is even tenable for them at this point.
