New NCAA agent rules believed to intentionally exclude NBA super agent Rich Paul

On Tuesday, CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein reported that the NCAA placed eligibility restrictions on who qualifies to represent those prospective NBA players. One of those rules disqualifies Paul.
quote:
Paul doesn’t have a bachelor’s degree. He famously built his career after he met LeBron James at the Cleveland airport while selling throwback jerseys out of his car. James bought some of his jerseys, and the two built a friendship and professional relationship. Now Paul represents James, Anthony Davis, Draymond Green and Ben Simmons among several other high-profile NBA clients.
quote:
But per the new NCAA rule, he is not eligible to advise NCAA players who wish to maintain their college eligibility.
Did the NCAA specifically have Paul in mind when they set these new criteria? Who knows? It’s unclear why the NCAA would specifically target Paul.

At this point wouldn’t it be pretty easy for him to get an degree just taking classes online?

Once a hustla always a hustla.

Rich Paul fricked AD out of $104m... Don’t worry, though - Rich Paul makes $0 out of AD’s contracts, he only makes his money off AD’s endorsements.
Sleezy POS unfortunately doesn’t have to abide by any sort of ethical rules.

It doesn't mean much, he would just sign them once they've decided they're leaving.
He could also just get an agent with those qualification to work for Klutch as their NCAA adviser. The solutions are so simple that I doubt the NCAA had blocking him in mind when they came up with the rule.

Lebron is the absolute worst.

This doesn't really do much at all

Organization involving student-athletes wants someone trying to sign them to have a four year degree or better? This is my fricking shocked face.

Seems reasonable for the NCAA to expect someone to hold a college degree before advising kids whether or not they should stay in school to get their degree.

I feel like you’re probably an idiot if you hire someone who doesn’t have a law degree to represent you when negotiating a legal contract, especially when the other side obviously has legal representation.
But the NCAA is trying to be discriminatory, and is trying to hold Rich Paul down

Why should a guy with no college degree be able to advise players on college eligibility?

NCAA requires agents to have bachelor’s degree
I mean, I do think this is kind of a dumb requirement.

I don’t think this is specifically aimed at Paul. I think it’s aimed at every sleazy uncle/handler that wants to pretend to be an agent and leech off these kids.
All Paul has to do is let some other college degreed agents be the pint of contact. Or go to some shitty online degree factory like SNHU or Ole Miss and get a degree

Wow. I can't believe the National COLLEGIATE Athletics Association is making it a requirement to finish COLLEGE before negotiating multimillion dollar contracts.
Very clearly a rule to protect these kids from helicopter family.

frick the NCAA

LOL this is a dumbass theory, how many people does Rich Paul personally represent when they leave college? 2-3? Besides the only issue people have with Paul (LeBron) is their not so discreet tampering with players under contract to teams LeBron doesn’t play for, major arse logical stretch

A college degree is unnecessary to be an agent. Pretty damn worthless. Undergrad itself just needs to be two years instead of four. The system is one big scam.
