Is it possible for an NBA player to become a college basketball player?

Let's assume that somehow a player got into the NBA without ever playingcollegeball and not signing an agent either. He plays for a few years and decided he wants to play NCAA basketball for whatever reason. Are there any rules that would prevent this from happening?



I don't see why NBA players should be barred from playing on NCAA teams if they don't play in the NBA at the same time. Is there some kind of rule stipulating that if you play in the NBA, you can never be acollegeathlete?

NCAA rules prohibit any professional athlete from competing in the NCAA. Therefore, by virtue of the fact that any player is an NBA player, they've been paid to play basketball, which bars them forever from playing on an NCAA team, even if they subsequently go to school.



So even if Lebron James decides to wise up and go to college, he can't play hoops for his school.

I'm pretty sure that a professional cannot play on acollegeteam. We would have colleges recruiting them just to win tournaments.
See above explanation, makes sense.



Interesting question. If you others like this at RootZoo.com, a community for sports fans, I bet you'll get some great responses from other sports fans. Set up a screenname and check it out, you'll like it.
Like the other people above me mentioned, it is against NCAA policy. NCAA sports are considered at the amatuer level. Leagues like the NBA are considered professional.
dennis rodman did that.....
NCAA rules require athletes to be "amateurs" in the sport in which they are competing. Signing a contract with any professional (or semi-professional) team in their sport makes them ineligible. So a player who competed for the NBA, the ABA, or a foreign league would not be allowed to compete in NCAA basketball. In some circumstances, they could compete in other sports (e.g. professional sprinters playingcollegefootball), but there is always a problem with endorsement deals, etc., from the professional sport.
