Former NBA player going back to school? | The Boneyard

Former NBA player going back to school?

maybe I’m just ignorant to labor laws/general litigation, but I jut don’t understand how a local judge or (any judge for that matter) can legally require a private organization (the ncaa) to allow someone to participate/join their organization. Don’t private businesses have the right to refuse service at their discretion?? What is the difference?

For the life of me I'll never understand why the NCAA allowed Nnaji to return to Baylor. At that point they should have known they were letting the horse out of the barn, and should have realize there would be people pushing a little further and further, until they could no longer enforce eligibility.

They could have easily drawn lines at getting drafted by the NBA (as they had the draft withdrawal rule, this would have been logical), participation in G league and/or summer league games as ending college eligibility. They crippled their own authority with the Nnaji decision.

Like I said before, start making calls to our former players with eligibility. Don’t act surprised if the only barrier that remains is 4 years of playable eligibility, until that probably changes at some point as well. We have enough Rev share/NIL to entice these guys to come back if the pro route didn’t work for them.

Bailey may very well lose and the “NBA games played” standard will hold up, but we shouldn’t be caught flat footed if it doesn’t.

So unfair to them.

It sucks, 3 and 4 star kids are barely even getting looked at anymore by P5 schools.
