Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 1005528, member: 1969"] The thing is the April 15 date is utterly meaningless. It could be April 27, and the NCAA would meet the exact some objective it really wanted -- it would still restrict players from testing the waters. The April 15 date is purely the NCAA playing games. The use of the earlier April 15 only looks good as it support their agenda that they are looking out for the players academics (which is a lie). If they made it April 27, its harder to say the change was for academic reasons. The key change that was made in 2011, was not pushing this "April 27" date back to "April 15". It pushed the date around for exiting the draft from around "May 20" to a date that is now before NBA contact is permitted. [/QUOTE]
