Big Ten bans former pros from college basketball
Original: Big Ten enacts basketball-specific rule to ban players who have signed pro contracts https://www. nytimes.com/athletic/7
The Big Ten has adopted a basketball-specific rule prohibiting players who have signed professional contracts with the NBA, G League or WNBA from competing in conference college basketball. The measure blocks former professionals, including those who signed deals after entering the transfer portal, from returning to college rosters. It marks one of the most explicit conference-level restrictions on ex-professional players and is likely to shape recruiting and transfer decisions across the league.
Why now: Conference-level restrictions on former professional players are reshaping college basketball recruiting and transfer rules amid the changing NIL and professional landscape.
