NCAA's 'Rich Paul Rule' shows its contempt for basketball players
NCAA requiring that players speak with a "NCAA certified agent" before determining whether to return to college or go pro. Qualifications required for certification include: 7 years of address history, test/interview, NBA agent certification and bachelor's degree
LeBron says that his agent Rich Paul is being discriminated against and he doesn't "need" a degree to do his job well.
Definitely sounds ill conceived.

It also doesn't signify business ethics. Neither does passing some test or having seven years of housing history or experience with the NBPA. There are an untold number of shady agents who had a wall full of degrees inside their lavish homes that bilked clients for money.
It’s hard to imagine any well-meaning group even coming up with such a concept. And some test taking in Indy? It’s bureaucracy for the sake of bureaucracy, regulations upon regulations.
Definitely sounds ill conceived.
