Snoop or somebody mentioned earlier that Europe does not really College ball-so post HS you play pro
Lots of those pro teams are "minor leagues" I mean they may even have day jobs
That is the historic reason?

Yeah. When this started, kids as young as 16 were playing pro in Europe and the talent level was so different that a lot of leagues had limits on how many Americans a team could have. Only the Americans were making any real money. There was some logic involved .

Is that any different from the G league?
 
Might as well just get rid of college teams for football, basketball and baseball and use minor leagues for players that don't go straight to the majors after high school.
 
According to Andrew Jones and David Sisk, schools have been in contact with Kofi Cockburn. He was an all-American at Illinois, went undrafted and has been playing in Japan and South Korea. Could he be the starting 5 for Carolina next year after completing his Jr year at Illinois in 2022?

In the NCAA's mind, those are funds earned by all the student-athletes being shared among all the student-athletes.

But, yeah.

What is your basis for saying that? Is there some current statement from the NCAA claiming that rev share is not pay for play?

I've seen several statements that NIL is not pay for play, but have not seen any post-House statements suggesting that rev share is not pay for play or that college athletes are still amateurs. But in fairness, I generally ignore NCAA communications.

Rev Share is pay for play. So far the clearing house has shown NIL is pay for play?
