G-League to NCAA

Another one. This one to Louisville.

Louisville landed a commitment from former Maine Celtics and Cleveland Charge guard London Johnson, ON3’s Joe Tipton announced on Monday. Johnson is a 6-foot-3 guard from Norcross, Georgia and was originally a four-star recruit in the class of 2023. He is expected to have two years of eligibility.

Apparently he won't be playing until next year but will be practicing and enrolling in school from what I read.
 
What about:

Once a player graduates, they have a five-year window of college eligibility regardless of injuries/transfers/hardships waivers/etc.

Once that player plays a single NBA game, their remaining eligibility is voided.

That is one way to finally get a recruit, Louisville. Overall I am not big on the policy, but this kid -- under the current rules -- would have gone the college route.

Can Bouknight come back?
 
You leave for the nba and suck, who cares if you think you should be able to go back to college. Just dont allow it. There are so many other rules normal people have to follow that don't maximize the money we earn/keep

No returns on certain items, arbitrarily raising credit card interest rates, non-standardization of cancelation fees and refunds....

Here's one: musicians are normally not allowed to play two separate gigs in the same city within a week's span. This is not law but it is enacted anyway. It only benefits the venue owners and restricts the money making opportunity for the musician, but it still is enforced.

The only people who get treated with 100% objectivity now are......College Athletes???

I know its a sports scholarship, but I would believe G-League players are not going back to college to be educated. Just a shame that a high schooler or a college underclassmen could potentially lose a free college ride to a pro.

Just saying I just feel college athletics scholarships should be for amateur athletes. Let the 'pros' make the team and play but on their own dime.

I'm sure the verbiage will be changed to not allow this soon, but it is an important distinction that so far these G-League guys enrolling in college are guys who never declared for the NBA Draft

Makes more sense.

Ive become more drawn to college baseball and hockey because it still resembles amateur athletics, relatively.

Quinnipiac and UConn Hockey will be fun to watch

College hockey is definitely becoming more popular, though the same reverse pipeline of pros back to college is happening there as well. There's been a few AHL players going back to college hockey for the NIL

I guess I'll just spend my free time with my kids then.
 
I remember John Madden saying one of the reasons he retired was to spend more time with the family. Then when he got home, "nobody had time for me!"
Tampa Tom Brady did it for a year and then ran back to football. Think he was a hockey dad for a few months with which I can empathize. I’m basically a taxi driving all over the mid-Atlantic and a bank for the kids at this point.
 
@Waquoit last weekend I was watching MLB playoffs (as I have been doing obsessively) and my wife said "maybe the kids want to watch something now" so I asked my 3 year old what he wanted to watch and he said:
"I want to watch Football with Daddy"
I said " no problem at all" switched the channel and gave the poor kid what he wanted
