Don't be fooled about rush on draft
Posted Nov 2, 2008
The ACC wants to move up the deadline to settle whether underclassmen will stay in the NBA draft. Under the league's proposal to the NCAA, any player would have until 10 days following the national championship game to renounce his remaining eligibility. Once he did so, there'd be no turning back. The league says that's best for the coaches (no, really?) and also for the student-athletes. The part about the kids might be the silliest fib I've heard in a while.
