How does college eligibility work for pros?

[Easy-E]

Jalen Rose on the radio saying he has a year of eligibility left.:baldD:

I remember ppl saying Kobe has 4 years. :baldD:

Like, the NCAA would really let a pro come back to school to play? :baldD:

J Rose is done eligibility wise. Once he enrolled full-time he had five years to compete four seasons.

Kobe could play a different sport if he wanted to and have a full four seasons of eligibility.

You can't go pro and then go to college to play their ball. And I think it extends beyond just the NBA and stuff, if you go play overseas you probably won't be allowed to play in the NCAA. Basically once you make money for playing you're out.

Nah not at all

Pro money in a different sport. In the NCAA's confusing world of amateurism, you can be deemed an amateur in one sport while clearly a professional in another. A pro athlete paid in one sport can simultaneously play college athletics in a different sport and receive a scholarship. It doesn't happen much, but the sport most frequently impacted is a college football player who also participates in minor league baseball. In 2010, Kyle Parker was Clemson's quarterback after he got a $1.4 million signing bonus from the Colorado Rockies. Russell Wilson had a $200,000 signing bonus with the Rockies, some of which he had to return to the club when he left to play quarterback at Wisconsin. Roscoe Crosby had a $1.75 million signing bonus from the Kansas City Royals while a Clemson wide receiver in the early 2000s
