With all due respect, they are being paid to play sports, in my mind, regardless of the technicalities, that makes them pros.

Technically they aren't professionals...yet. The rulings on employees vs whatever they are now is still be waged. Previous Message
So, you're saying that a professional league (NCAA) should exclude players who have previously played in a professional league? I get it, I don't like that College sports are now pro sports. But, it seems odd in the current reality to exclude players who are professionals from a professional league. Previous Message
Totally fine with this.
Guys who have played professional leagues, no NCAA ball. And if you're 24 years old, no more play, period. Previous Message
It's the never ending story of the unintended consequences of pay for play. Oh, what a mess the P5 have created for themselves and everyone else. Previous Message

The NCAA is going to start cracking down on international players coming to college basketball. It's an effort to stop college hoops from being a fallback option for players who don't work out in the NBA or with lucrative contracts overseas. Right now, the NCAA is being flooded with middle twenty-year-olds from international waters because college basketball pays more.
The NCAA is looking to stop that, but with the way the current wording is structured, it would cause a ton of problems in college basketball, especially if enforcement goes into effect immediately. Teams like Wisconsin, with a large chunk of their roster from overseas, would swiftly be left high and dry with no suitable replacements.
