Message: [QUOTE="shandeezy7, post: 1729896, member: 720"] I can't seem to find an answer anywhere, but I'm assuming these kids would have to pay their own way to the combine? That could be prohibitive to someone who isn't signing with an agent (since the agent either pays for the athlete to attend the combines or workouts, or the athlete pays for it with the signing bonus money they receive from the agent). I agree though that if it isn't cost-prohibitive, why would you not participate? The rule change also allows for more practice time for the players with the coaches: [I]"The 50 players who earn invites to the NBA Combine will actually be able to work out more with their coaches until the event than other players. They will be permitted to work out 20 hours per week with coaches, as opposed to the eight-hour limits imposed on other players." [/I] If anyone can find out whether or not the players have to pay their own way for these workouts, it'd be much-appreciated. [/QUOTE]
