Hmm...

The way you end your amateur career (in the U.S. at least) is to declare eligibility and hire an agent You're not allowed to change your mind. Otherwise the NCAA becomes a tool for use in professional contract negotiations. If the NCAA is to remain an amateur athletic organization, that cannot be allowed.

When a player comes out early, then he has to live with the best contract he's offered. The player can hold out, but he can't go back to college.

The kid's agent is to blame. He promised the kid more than he could deliver.
