Now there's a name I haven't heard in decades.

(Could the sprinter be taught how to catch a football?)

It looks like he has a real endorsement as well (ASICS) and not some BS where he gets NIL from a booster.

He can continue to be a track athlete for ASICS, run for his college, and get his degree.

The G League guys coming back mid-season are much more absurd than this imo.

We had a high schooler on our relay team last Olympics. If he can do that and still end up running in college, I see no difference.


Did he go pro? Or just run in the Olympics? If he didn't go pro then it's different from this:

Hinchliffe decided to leave school to begin a pro track career.


But I think we can agree that the whole concept of amateurism is over and everything is in the gray now.

There’s lots of Olympic athletes that still run in college. I don’t think this ruling means anything.
