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.

I’m pro incentives. Thats why I recommended incentives a couple days ago. I was told that is communism.

Tight supply and huge demand. Basic economics that most people should understand.
I thought about that. The Europeans don’t have a collegiate sport system like we do either.
You weren’t told that the Fed providing incentives was communism. Quit **** posting.
Cattle is one of the 5 Cs in Arizona. Hell ya, this is America, we can have both.
America needs semiconductor manufacturing at home and you are lucky Arizona is a huge semiconductor state bringing you the latest and greatest.
Loser attitudes like yours are self defeating. No wonder your wife is looking for a resolute man.
Chandler is a model city that has stuck to its plan. Intel, Microchip, Motorola, BoA, Wells Fargo, GM Finance - yeah, all Asian companies. You were probably thinking about Benihana.
Yeah, an old farming and dairy community is now producing billions in GDP every year. That is greatness. You see it as a disaster which tells me your liberal conversion theory is nearing completion.
2 starting QBs in the NFL from Chandler class of 2018. Koa Peat about to be a 1st round NBA pick from Purdy’s high school. Yeah, fantastic city carved out of nothing.
Forgot to mention that 3 weeks ago while sporting Illini gear early one morning at Fry’s a young man said hey, my cousin plays for Illinois. Yep, number 5 starred at Chandler High School. But let’s cutoff the water.
Looks like we have at least one sucker here spouting propaganda from a foreign country.
Ah yes, @amuse, the non biased source that will set the record straight. Don’t think for yourself, trust your algorithm.
Fair. That’s what I’m thinking though. Not moving people by force. Encourage people to move and give them reason to do so. Maybe the farmers and ranchers are the ones that you give incentives to move. But something should be done, the water levels aren’t coming back in that part of the country. It’s unsustainable.
I don’t disagree with incentives at all and they definitely aren’t communism- although I don’t think anyone was actually saying they are…
As far as I know, China and N. Korea aren’t offering their citizens incentives….they just order them around by force.
As should people understand the word in "governmental-speak" when they see the word....."ESTIMATE" !Smaller Cattle Herd Creates Market Volatility

For example, one estimate is using more estimates from 1941 !

When my Sister used to live in NYC when she worked for Saks we would go into Manhattan for dinner at any restaurant that we chose, Mad Dog when he was little would always choose Benihana's. (There were several intown). He always loved the knives and the tossing of the food on the grill, but it got old, same jokes all the time.
Then we stayed at a friend's condo in Fort Meyers, Fla. Went for dinner down the road, there was a exact copy of Benihanas in NYC, We thought it had to be a training school for the chain (Which at that time was huge !). Same set up, same jokes, but you could tell the cooks were working on their skills with tossing shrimp ! Some would hit the floor !
You need to return to University and get a Degree in water study, NOT climate change,
I have a degree in Natural Resource Management, lol. Actually did a lot of research on water in my college years. A lot of the things I studied have come to fruition.
Guess I’m the expert here. Maybe you guys are the ones that need an education. Just maybe.
I don’t try to tell you I know more about playing OL, because I know I don’t. I’m confident I know more about water, and the concerns in parts of the USA about running out.
