There are a number of troubling aspects to this Isaiah Wong story. The NCAA a few years ago allowed players testing the NBA draft waters to keep their eligibility if they used an NCAA certified agent, which Wong did using Pappas. If a player uses an agent not certified by the NCAA, they lose their college eligibility. [B]“The rules changes were spurred in 2018 when the Commission on College Basketball reported that NCAA student-athletes needed earlier professional advice to determine whether it is in their best interests to declare for the NBA draft. As a result, the NCAA agent certification program was created. A student-athlete whose team's basketball season has concluded can start the process by requesting an evaluation from the NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee via email at[URL='https://www.ncaa.org/mailto:UAC@nba.com'] UAC@nba.com[/URL].” [/B] So an NCAA certified agent is now negotiating on Wong’s behalf with Miami and their college NIL agreements. So he’s not just providing professional advice regarding whether it’s Wong’s best interest to declare for the NBA or not. He’s now negotiating the deal between Miami’s NIL deal and Wong to decide whether he stays at Miami or goes into the transfer portal. This all with a NCAA certified agent and their approval! Wow.
