I'm not worried about the new football players being ruled ineligible

The football team will be fine. But I am worried about the basketball team because they will absolutely be screwed. Is there a scenario where the new football players are ruled ineligible but not the new basketball players?

The ONLY MBB player that the SEC will give us trouble about is RJ Luis.

But arent the Euro players technically professionals?

College athletes are technically professionals now because they get paid to do a service.

For NCAA eligibility, here is what they look at.

Compensation and League Quality
Actual and Necessary Expenses: Players are generally ineligible if they received compensation or salaries from a team in a professional league exceeding actual and necessary living/travel expenses.
High-Level Pro Leagues:
Competitors in elite leagues with high minimum salaries—such as the EuroLeague, Australian NBL, or top domestic European divisions—face a heavy burden to prove amateur status, and veterans of these leagues are often deemed professional and ineligible.
Case-by-Case Review: Compliance staff analyze the totality of the experience, including the length of time played, the quality of the overseas league, and whether an educational nexus existed during their time abroad.
