I dont need to. You can call the kid a pro but the pro is less developed than kids sent to IMG or Oak Hill. He is very raw and undeveloped.
You dont even understand the Euro landscape. I know UNA (when they were D2) used to have a pipeline to an Austrailian club over 20 years ago. What your coach is suggesting is if his guy is denied then 500+ euros should be denied as well. That's bull.
Now answer my question. Why was Bama playing their own Euro pro "okay"

Since so many don't seem to understand the differences, here is the actual bylaw:
quote:
NCAA Bylaw 12.2.2.2.1 which reads:
Before initial full-time collegiate enrollment, an individual may compete on a professional team (per Bylaw 12.02.4), provided the individual does not receive more than actual and necessary expenses to participate on the team.

Got it. So your pro is okay. Some other guys isn’t, so they shouldnt be able to do it. What I thought.

I guess everyone thinks Europros are going "professional" at 15 and making Lamelo Ball in China money at that time.

What's really going to cook their noodle is that there is no difference in Euro and American. If an American kid goes straight to Gleague and even plays in the actual NBA before going to college, he can be elgibile to still play in college. Will somewhat depend on how much he was paid to do so, no different than Euro pros, but post NIL that threshold has been greatly expanded to keep up with the change in landscape for what college athletes can be paid.
Hell, this isn't even actually new. Anybody remember Chris Weinke
. When straight to MLB out of high school and was able to come back and play collegiate sports. Back then the monetary threshold was much tighter.

Not only do I think he is okay I think he is a great example for the intended partnership between the NCAA and NBA in getting talent here while there are less opportunities overseas.

What’s the difference in the Euro kids and the Baylor and Alabama kids? Did any play in the NBA or were they all semi pro leagues? Did they play against similar competition? In don’t know I’m asking.

Alabama kid
Played in college

One example that really has the NCAA stretched to make compelling arguments is the 23 year old Freshman at Green Bay who has been playing in Isreal's top Pro league (among the better Euro leagues) for years.
That threw the "kind of like American HS" argument out the window.

Not sure how that matters, it isn't relevant to the cases. The pro league they played in is irrelevant in determining their NCAA eligibility. You asked what the differnce was, so I pointed out what it was and what was irrlevant to the cases.

You sound like you’re some lawyer whose arguing one technicality about college just because you hate Alabama. It all sounds like the same scenario to me if they played similar competition and didn’t make money in the NbA playing in actual games. I would believe you if you didn’t have one of these guys on your team lol.

I'm literally just regurgitating the NCAA bylaws. I don't give a shite who he plays for. I don't have a problem with the Alabama Euro pro players, don't have a problem with the Baylor or Louisville ones.
Seeing as everyone here doesn't seem to understand the actual rules, if me pointing them out makes me seem like a lawyer, okay then. You asked for what the differences were, I'm pointing them out.

You know the Bama guy still has college eligibility left right? And he never played in the NBA?
Posted on 1/23/26 at 2:01 pm to Summer of Jimbo
Once you allow professional players to come play “amateur” college sports all bets are off. Courts will probably get rid of the expired eligibility rule altogether next.
