Probably the craziest part about this is how it just came out of nowhere. Coaches make amazing money but I bet a lot of them would gladly give up a bunch of it to see some sort of stability reintroduced to college athletics.....whole system is a joke.

I mean, right and wrong in college basketball rules is what we collectively say it is, but we need some order and uniformity. I like the way Izzo puts it: this is ridiculous and embarrassing. It's as if a program, say Minnesota, were severely punished for their players getting too much assistance with legitimate classes while another program runs sham classes for decades and is ruled to have done nothing wrong. Oh, wait...

If you paid attention to college hockey you would see that there are several ECHL players that have gone back to play college. It depends on how much money they made which is the deciding factor. Bemidji St started it on the hockey front and when his guy got approved others have done it. It was only a matter of time before it made its way to basketball.

After retiring from the NBA, LeBron will go play college ball with one (or more) of his sons and fulfill a childhood dream by winning an NCAA championship!

I mean it wouldn't totally shock anyone at this point, would it? Ohio State perhaps.

I think Izzo will reach his Nick Saban breaking point soon.
 




Now, some high school kid will sue the NCAA for allowing a former pro to take his roster spot, and a college scholarship, away. It never ends if you don't put some rules in place.
 


He’ll probably make more in NIL and direct pay at Louisville than he did in the G League. That is the case the mindless lemmings will make (and the spineless NCAA will accept). After all, who could be so cruel and heartless as to limit a player’s opportunity to make more money by playing “amateur” basketball just because they’ve already bypassed that for the “pros?”

This is exactly the argument that has already been made in college hockey and is the supporting basis for allowing it. There are already 5 or 6 that have been approved weeks ago for hockey. Basketball was just a little later to the game on this. See Hudson Thornton on the Bemidji St hockey roster. He was the first and others have followed.

If a G league player can make the move ... why not an NBA player who still has eligibility?

Supposedly it only g league players who have eligibility but have not taken more money than just expenses, travel, food. No salaried players.
