Point of contention...

No one is going "back" to college. If you were in college and withdraw to compete professionally, youre done. The 2 kids who have given commitments have not enrolled in college. Im not sure why there's a ton of outrage considering its the exact same as an overseas professional who has never been in college coming to the US to play in college. (i.e. Avdalas and Dorn) They will have to pay back a significant amount of money they received, and for the G-League (who isnt using the same model as some overseas leagues in amateurism/professional cases) that might be enough for neither of them to actually ever play a game in college. A whole lot of people misunderstanding what this actually is... Regardless...easy to stop it from happening...allow athletes to unionize so you can collectively bargain with them

I appreciate the clarification. I figured there was more to the story.

Your eligibility isnt stopped once you leave college...
