After a year in the Pros player decides to go back to college

[rezero]

College sports is a sham. How can a player be allowed to go back to college after a year of pro ball. London Johnson made the decision to skip college and join the G-League which is a pro development league for the NBA. He signed a record deal at the time for a player making the jump from high school. After a year in G-League he found out he could make more NIL money in college so he is heading to Louisville. The reason the NCAA is allowing it is because they say he was not technically “drafted”.

This opens up a whole set of problems. Does this mean Shrader or Cook can come back to play for Mizzou?

College sports has not changed for the better.

Pro athletes have been going back to college for decades. However, it was usually after completing their athletic career to finally get their degree and please their mother.

Not even sure there are eligibility rules any more. Gabrielle played 6 years, Pavia has 6, etc… Heck didn’t Cam Mccormick ask and was granted to get his 9th year (yes 9th!)! If they no longer are concerned with players going from pro back to college, then it seems all rules are in flux.

Just because you don't understand it, that doesn't mean it's making things worse.

You're actually making it appear worse by not even trying to understand it

Why does it make a difference that he was not drafted?

With posts like this you are just embarrassing yourself. If you are so enlightened then please explained it. I know you will not because you have no idea what you are talking about.

Exactly. If you read the formal NCAA reply it contradicts itself multiple times. It says he “maintained amateur status” despite being “paid professionally”. Saban discussed it last week and basically said this is a ruling that will open the door for legal issue about the definition of collegiate players.
