Lmfao he’s allowed to go to college and finish his degree, that doesn’t mean he should get to play on a college basketball team again. He had his chance and forfeited his eligibility when he didn’t withdraw from the draft. Wouldn’t you agree that washed up pros would be taking spots on rosters from hard working high school students?

College basketball is an amateur league meant to develop players into pros. How is a high school player who runs out of high school eligibility supposed to get better when washed up pros are taking their spots in the development league? And trust these washed pros would have 0 interest in returning to college if there wasn’t a fat bag of money involved

The NCAA is so spineless and don’t want to keep losing in court so who knows

What the hell are you even talking about?

Because euro players do not have an amateur league like college basketball to play in out of high school, they are forced to play in pro leagues to develop. That’s not the same thing as a guy who was already in college forfeiting his eligibility and getting drafted and playing in actual NBA games, then trying to come back to college because he’s not good enough for more playing time even though he knew the rules when he entered that draft about eligibility

Yes everyone should be able to attend college if they want to, but that doesn’t mean they should be able to play collegiate athletics. Do you think LeBron should be able to come to college and have four years of eligibility to play college basketball right now, since he never went to college?

No bro, I’m saying NBA PLAYERS should not be able to play college basketball. euro players enter pro leagues when they’re as young as 15 because they don’t have amateur leagues. There is an established NCAA-NBA joint rule that once college players enter the draft and don’t withdraw by the deadline they forfeit any remaining eligibility. And the five year clock rule where theres a 5 year window between graduating high school and using college eligibility, it’s not ageist those are the rules lol

Because he signed a two way contract and was paid an NBA salary, thereby forgoing any amateur status he had. The entirety of NCAA athletics is founded on the idea that it is an amateur league, that’s why schools can’t directly pay their players salaries. And just as a fan of both sports it ruins the integrity of both leagues and these people trying to bend the rules don’t have good intentions, they’re just looking for a big payday. I also don’t think G league players should be eligible

But I understand why they are letting g leaguers who never played in the nba play since they think it’s equivalent to euro pro leagues. But anyone who has played an NBA game is a professional player and should not be able to return to college (and also ask yourself why the hell an NBA player would want to or if they would even consider it if there wasn’t money to be made with no salary caps? The answer is no, they wouldn’t)
