Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2805810, member: 5798"] This does not affect the women, as no female player can declare for the NBA draft. Just a news item of interest that does affect the men at UConn. The NCAA adopted a series of policy and rules changes Wednesday that it hopes will clean up college basketball, which has been engulfed by an FBI investigation and other corruption over the last two years. Among the significant changes that were adopted by the NCAA's Board of Governors and Division I Board of Directors are [B]allowing elite high school basketball recruits and players to be represented by agents who are certified by the NCAA while still playing; allowing players to enter the NBA draft and return to school if undrafted;[/B] introducing more rigorous certification requirements for summer basketball-related events; and longer postseason bans, head coach suspensions and increased recruiting restrictions for college coaches who break the rules. Significantly, the NCAA is overhauling its process for investigating and adjudicating complex cases involving its rules. Two independent groups will be appointed to oversee and resolve complex cases, which might involve academic misconduct, major penalties or adversarial behavior.
