A few guys on the Illinois hoops team would be ineligible under these rules. It doesn’t say “no players can return from American pros”.
Edit - poor reading comprehension. I guess you could go from the pros to college, if you have never played college before. Seems odd though.

I don't see those specifics, so I thought the same things.
How This Applies to European Pros in BasketballEuropean basketball often involves players signing pro contracts with clubs (sometimes at young ages), earning salaries, and competing in professional leagues. NCAA eligibility has historically turned on whether the experience counts as "professional" (e.g., via contracts, drafts, or payments beyond amateur allowances). The EO reinforces a stricter bar: once an athlete has been a professional, they cannot "return" to (or enter) NCAA competition as an amateur/student-athlete.
- Players who have already competed as pros in Europe would likely be deemed ineligible under the updated rules the EO calls for.
- The order pushes for these changes to take effect by August 1, 2026, and it backs enforcement by directing federal agencies to consider whether schools violating the rules remain fit for federal grants/contracts.
Maybe part of the reason why we have 4 HS kids committed for next season.
Goodbye American ranchers and farmers. Sorry about the beef prices. Congrats Japan!
America first! Just kidding, who cares about American farmers, right?
An Asian company that does thermal spraying is being celebrated by a conservative Arizona man. Least surprising thing ever.

Who cares ??
President Trump has distributed $ 12,000,000,000 Billion to American farmers in Trump # 47 so far.
Trump is giving out incentives? I was told that is communism. Distributing billions of $ is not allowing the free market to do its thing.
Chandler used to be a farming community. Now it’s a great place for Asian companies.
In the late 1800's people moved West into the Colorado river basin, water was cheap and economics were largely agricultural so they established farms and ranches based on river water. At some point California figured out how to divert large amounts of Colorado river water to their Imperial Valley and massive agriculture started. In addition, big urban areas like Denver, Albuquerque, Las Vegas, Phoenix and S California tapped into the river. Current water rights are based on history, who got what when and the older the better.
70-80% of the Colorado river water used in 2026 goes to agriculture. Is that the best use of the water? It is based on history and now we have alternatives to agriculture. I do not know the answer but 2026 is not 1880. Unfortunately politicians will make the decision and that usually is wrong.
