Has anyone who has actually played in an NBA game gone back to college yet?

I'm not aware of any - just guys who had been drafted and either been in the G-League or overseas - but it's certainly possible I missed someone.

That would be a big, big difference, IMHO, to have an NBA player try to go back to college to play. And I'm not sure how the NCAA allows it...or how they attempt to stop it.

Why would Euro professionals be ok and not American professionals?

The NCAA has long seen overseas professionalism differently than American professionalism because there is often no real amateur option overseas if one is trying to play at a higher level.

They've extended this idea to folks who have been drafted in by the NBA (which used to be the delineation mark) but had only played in the G-League in the US.

If Flowers does try to go to college to play (which I've not seen anything from his side saying he's actively looking at it), it would be essentially the complete death of the amateur ideal in college sports. Which is not to say that's a bad thing, but it would be interesting to observe.

Didn't paying players already end amateurism?
