Sonny Vaccaro and Next Month's NBA Draft

Sonny Vaccaro.  You either love him or hate him depending on where you stand in the world of basketball.  There is no secret that Mr. Vaccaro has been fighting the NCAA for longer than most of you have been living.  His power deals with coaches, players and agents over the years have long been documented.  His latest activity has been to try and influence young players to skip college entirely and go to Europe to play until they are eligible for the NBA draft.  This is in direct confrontation to the NCAA (and NBA) rule that requires high school grads to complete one year of college before they can enter the draft.
