[Source] - Bailey, 21, has hired an agent and a lawyer to prepare to fight for NCAA eligibility with hopes to join a college team and play one more season.

"Right now I'd be a senior in college," Bailey told ESPN. "I'm not trying to be 27 years old playing college athletics. No shade to the guys that do; that's their journey. But I went to go play professionally and learned a lot, went through a lot. So, like, why not me?

He can go back to college, but cannot play basketball. That would be a huge mistake for college sports. But the NCAA is just another illegitimate organization paid off by betting companies, apparel companies, and obviously the media. They could care less about actual education.

The term "student athlete" is such a bad joke. He wants to play one more season in college? What, is he 27 hours away from getting his bachelor's in accounting?
