Is there an age limit that prevents players from going directly into the G League? College basketball is going to replace the G League at least in pay which seems wrong. While I think the players deserve a piece of the pie this chaos every spring is ridiculous.
Players can go from high school to the G League if they want to. I don't think too many do but it's an option for guys who don't want to go international or college

FWIW, Carter Boothe has a NIL contract with Mountain Dew. Good for him but it validates the point that any comment I make about NIL is fluid. If walk-ons are attractive to corporate marketing efforts, the NCAA has no idea what is coming down the road.

There's a new option in the gleague that is like essentially reserved for top 50 guys who don't want to go to college and they get paid like actual pro players.

Should kids on music scholarships have to sit out a year from playing in public? Should kids on art scholarships not get to display their art?

Those students are allowed to transfer at will and be paid for their talent.

You are acting like basketball players are here to be students. They are athletes who are required to go to class. They are not chowing Iowa state for the engineering department for the most part. They are coming to play basketball and they can get an education at the same time. Not the other way around.

So Jeremiah Williams and Hasan Ward should sit since they had no coaching change?

Yes. That was the system for a long time. Then the NCAA started granting waivers for all sorts of dubious reasons and eventually let the floodgates open.

IMO, NIL works well with a sit out year. Allows guys to transfer still, but prevents teams from reloading through transfers vs traditional recruiting. It also encourages consistent endorsements rather than dumping a ton of money during recruiting and moving on.

That's literally no different than accomplished musicians and artists.

They're in college to improve their craft in the hopes of making big time money in music or art by having access to facilities and instruction not available to the general public.

This is a good point, but I also enjoy that autocorrect makes it sound like they could have chosen to eat ISU.

If offered I am sure they will. And they may have been offered some. Really do not know.

So then the answer to your question in the context of the current conversation would be yes. If they want to sign any kind of NIL deal they have to sit out. If they sign a contract not to sign an NIL deal they can play right away. That seems fair.

I think ISU fans might surprise in the amount of annual NIL giving they will do, if it comes to that.

It would be nice if there was some more structure and guidance/regulation to all of this. Is there even a relevant NCAA anymore?

The toothpaste may be out of the tube, or the cat out of the bag for now. I have to hope there will be more regulation in the not too distant future. It only makes sense.

Those are not the rules in effect today.

Yes. If you accept a scholarship, you sit out a year. Don't want to sit out, don't transfer.

I don't like this but if we did this, we should also require any coach switching jobs without being fired or expiring their contract to sit out a year before jumping ship as well. And players should get immediate eligibility for a transfer when their coach leaves. We benefitted from TJ bailing on UNLV and Campbell bailing on Toledo.
