I  don't think this goes far enough.    Kids should be allowed to stay in the draft, hire an agent and return if they choose not to sign a contract.    Provided they don't accept money from their agent.

Why does hiring an agent have to = accepting money from that agent or being a professional?

This is such a small step forward.     The NBA hasn't given up anything and neither have colleges.   Players are only slightly ahead of where they were a few years ago where you could supposedly get a true evaluation and then return.     NBA takes no risk.   Colleges might be inconvenienced slightly in that they have a player reverse course a month or two later than his decision to leave..... so what?    Don't give out your last scholarship(s) until after the draft.   Maybe you even move the signing period to be after the draft.

The NCAA has so much of this in their control, but they are truly unwilling to do what is in the best interests of their student athletes.   Its a joke.
