College Coaches Have Contacted G League Players Who Have Appeared in NBA Games

Posted on

How crazy are things getting in college athletics (largely due to the incompetence of the NCAA)?

Dan Wolken of Yahoo! Sports says college coaches have actually reached out to NBA G League players on two way contracts who have appeared in NBA games.

What’s worse? Woken says it feels inevitable at this point that those players will eventually find a way back into college basketball.

Here is an excerpt:

And guess what? As more college programs pursue mid-year additions, some have even checked in with G League players on two-way contracts who have appeared in actual NBA games. That seems inevitable at some point, too, given where this trend seems to be headed.

But don’t blame Baylor or any program for pursuing those players.

While you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone in college sports who thinks this is a good development, schools are merely doing what the NCAA has given them the green light to do as it waits and hopes for some kind of antitrust protection from Congress that would allow for the actual enforcement of the rulebook rather than a mishmash of eligibility rulings.
