After hearing the backlash over its so-called “Rich Paul Rule,” the NCAA has amended the recently implemented agent certification requirements.

The guidelines, introduced last week in a memo as a way to help athletes explore NBA Draft opportunities without giving up eligibility, required agents to have a bachelor’s degree, which many saw as a shot at superagent Rich Paul.

On Monday, the NCAA changed its requirement from simply having a bachelor’s degree to, “Have a bachelor’s degree and/or are currently certified and in good standing with the NBPA.”

Paul has gained notoriety this summer while representing players like LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Ben Simmons and Draymond Green while playing a big role in reshaping the NBA through his Klutch Sports agency. He famously rose to power through his friendship with James, though he doesn’t have a bachelor’s degree. A number of high-profile NBA players criticized the NCAA’s rules.

Paul joined the chorus on Monday, publishing an op-ed via The Athletic.

“The harmful consequences of this decision will ricochet onto others who are trying to break in,” he wrote. “Does anyone really believe a four-year degree is what separates an ethical person from a con artist?”
