Diddy Explodes Over NCAA’s “Racist” Rich Paul Rule + Offers Genius Solution: “What Are Black People Going To Do About It?”

Diddy

Music mogul Diddy can see ulterior motives from a mile away. Bad Boy Records’ CEO has come forward to weigh-in on the NCAA’s overnight “Rich Paul” rule.

Diddy went to Instagram last night to share his frustrations with the league’s strict athlete collegiate requirements but also offer up an interesting perspective and solution.

The sudden requirement takes direct aim at student athletes looking for representation heading into the NBA draft.

The NCAA ran head-first into a PR nightmare this week when word leaked about a new and more stringent agent certification process that requires those seeking to represent student-athletes in the NBA Draft process to have attained, among other criteria, a bachelor’s degree and an NBPA certification for at least three years.  The new prerequisites, which were quickly dubbed the “Rich Paul Rule,” were lambasted by LeBron James and other NBA players. CBS Sports’ Gary Parrishdubbed the attempt — which the NCAA claimed in a memo to agents as one to “protect the collegiate eligibility of their athlete clients” — as utter nonsense. (CBS Sports)
