Two-year rule expected from NBA, NCAA

SAN ANTONIO — NCAA president Myles Brand and NBA commissioner David Stern are holding a press conference here on Monday and are expected to announce a change in the NBA's draft eligibility policy.

Brand hinted Thursday the NCAA and NBA had worked out a deal to create a 20-year-old age limit, which would keep the best players in college for a minimum of two years.

The NBA adopted a 19-year-old age limit in its collective bargaining agreement with the players' association in 2006, which prevented high school players from jumping directly to the NBA.

This helps mid-majors. The BCS schools now get to keep these kids 2 years instead of 1 which ties up their scholarship for 2 years leaving more players for the rest of us to go after.

NCAA denies new age rule rumor
Tuesday April 08, 2008

So much for that new age rule. Overheated press reports before today's joint NBA-NCAA news conference in San Antonio had NBA Commissioner David Stern and NCAA President Myles Brand about to announce a deal requiring college players to stay for two seasons instead of one. This was not only in error -- there's no deal, nor was one discussed -- but missed a fundamental point: This isn't between the NBA and the NCAA. It's between the NBA and the National Basketball Players Assn.
