Big Changes Are Coming to the NCAA

Big Changes Are Coming to the NCAA If you're a college basketball player that goes undrafted after making yourself eligible for the NBA Draft, you'll now have the option to return to the collegiate game.

The NCAA announced Wednesday that its Board of Governors and Division I Council adopted a "series of significant policy and legislative changes, setting in motion actions to change the structure of the NCAA fundamentally."

The proposed changes came from the Rice Commission, led by former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

The commission was formed in response to an FBI investigation into payments from shoe companies to coaches for steering players to certain schools.

Is the NCAA inching closer to paying players? It should also be noted that stiffer penalties will be a part of the new proposed NCAA rules.
