Lakers superstar LeBron James is in his agent's corner when it comes to the NCAA's new “Rich Paul Rule.” In fact, the three-time champion sent out a tweet on Monday morning to make his stance clear.

Under the NCAA's “Rich Paul Rule,” aspiring agents will not be able to represent players without a four-year college degree. Paul, a long-time friend of James, has said that these requirements will have no impact on his business. However, Paul also noted that it could prevent people from following in his footsteps.

Paul released an op-ed with The Athletic on Monday morning. As part of his piece, the popular agent explained how the new rule could diminish the dreams of people from certain backgrounds or lesser opportunity:

“The media is calling it “The Rich Paul Rule,” which, while incredibly flattering, is not accurate,” Paul wrote in his op-ed with The Athletic. “It has no impact on me or the business of Klutch Sports Group. However, it does have a significant impact on people like me, and the NCAA should be called out for it.

“NCAA executives are once again preventing young people from less prestigious backgrounds, and often people of color, from working in the system they continue to control. In this case, the people being locked out are kids who aspire to be an agent and work in the NBA and do not have the resources, opportunity or desire to get a four-year degree.”

Though he disagrees with the NCAA's new policy, there are certain requirements of the arrangement that Paul agrees with:

“I actually support requiring three years of experience before representing a kid testing the market,” Paul wrote. “I can even get behind passing a test. However, requiring a four-year degree accomplishes only one thing — systematically excluding those who come from a world where college is unrealistic.

“Does anyone really believe a four-year degree is what separates an ethical person from a con artist?”

Though he says otherwise, this new ruling could have an impact on Paul's opportunities to represent young players who are fresh out of college.

According to ESPN, the requirements include a four-year bachelor's degree, National Basketball Players Association certification for at least three consecutive years, professional liability insurance, and the completion of an exam taken in person at the NCAA office.

The degree requirement seems to have drawn James' attention, and some believe it was aimed directly at Paul, who did not attend college. Instead, Paul worked at Creative Artists Agency, then later founded Klutch Sports.

With or without a collegiate degree, Paul has become one of the top agents in the NBA.
