certification with the NCAA.
"Student-athletes with eligibility remaining are, under new NCAA rules, allowed to sign with agents, explore the NBA Draft process and still return to school so long as they submit paperwork prior to the early withdrawal deadline — so long as the agent is NCAA-certified. Childs checked every box, but there may have been a snag with the certification of the agent he worked with."
"In its release, BYU notes that “agents in 2019 were not required to be certified by the NCAA as the Rice Commission required. Certification will be required in 2020.”"
