This is a question I just thought about today. I don't have the answer, but maybe someone has the answer. Let's say we had a one and done player that went to the pros after his Frosh season. Or went into the G- League, or even Overseas League? What if he played a year or even 2 or 3 in the pros, and it did not work out for him? Or perhaps an NIL deal with a College Team that paid more money than his current pro team came up? Could he return to college to finish his degree, and use his remaining years of college eligibility, and return to the College game. To his Original College, or even another school. By paying players the NCAA, has in effect waved the amateurism rules correct?

Does anyone have any insight on this? Has it even been considered or discussed at the NCAA level?
