- All players who get invited to the NBA Combine but go undrafted will have the option to return to their former school.

- Elite prospects will now be allowed to have official relationships with agents. This applies to high schoolers and college athletes alike. USA Basketball, in conjunction with the NCAA, will be tasked with identifying which prospects in a given class are "elite." In regard to high school athletes, however, the rules will not go into effect until the NBA changes its current age-limit rule.

- The NCAA is requiring all school presidents, chancellors and athletics staff members to contractually comply with any and all future investigations. This is the NCAA's way of trying to institute a de facto version of subpoena power, which it lacked previously.

- School presidents and chancellors will now personally be held accountable by the NCAA for their athletic departments abiding by the rules.
The FBI's case into college basketball brought about mounds of documents of information. Previously, the NCAA did not allow for information and findings from outside investigations at established agencies to be used in its infractions process. Effective immediately, the NCAA and its Committee on Infractions can use information obtained in other probes as a means to an end for its own investigations. This will be implemented immediately by the NCAA with the schools currently caught up in the Department of Justice's case regarding multiple schools -- and alleged violations of multiple federal laws.

- The recruiting calendar, as detailed here, is getting a major overhaul. In a first, college coaches will be allowed to attend the NBA Players Association Top 100 camp each June. Also, the first live period of July will be attendable for non-scholastic events.

I am fine with the first one. It is pandering from a fear to hold on to talent as long as they can. Just make players flirting with pro careers have to continue to perform in the classroom. Stomp schools that don't. If they didn't succeed at the combine then they may need some physical maturity ans development. It is time for players and their advocates to admit that most players need college ball. They get a lot out of it.

The second rule change is stupid.

Let's see what the NCAA does with 3 and 4. I'm thinking the information gleaned from the FBI probe of Kansas is going to cost Cleveland State some scholarships and a multi-year post-season ban.

How do they define elite, only those who end up at the big $blue blood schools that are immune to NCAA infractions?

I bet USA Basketball decides. If you blow off USA Basketball then ...

You misplaced the dollar sign (blue blood $chools), but otherwise, that looks about right.

It's about time on number 1. Kids should not be penalized for attempting to get drafted. If it doesn't work out, there is no reason they shouldn't be able to return to their college program and keep playing.
Sic Everyone.
