What "new" rule is this? For NCAA div 1 (and div 2, NAIA & NJCAA practically identical), the "old" rule has always required that to retain amateur eligibility players cannot be paid. I am not aware of any recent rule changes in this area. I think you will find the current rules state that individuals will lose their amateur eligibility if they play on a professional team ie a team with any paid player. There is however an important exception that allows individuals to play on a professional team prior to commencing FULL-TIME tertiary studies. Not sure of Jadyn's situation but as long as he doesn't start full-time uni he can play NBL here and then College (assuming no other issues). I think there has been some WNBL players go to College and SEABL. There are also players whose College dreams have crashed due to playing Big V and starting full-time studies (part time studies are ok). College bound players need to be careful with this and "Ok as long as you are not paid" is a dangerous assumption for those with College dreams.
