It's mostly a trend in college basketball right now, but there are guys who have played in the G League, and even one drafted into the NBA, who are returning to play NCAA hoops.
Could it be a move that infiltrates college football? The NFL doesn't have the same kind of minor league setup, so maybe not, but never say never.
One NFL writer, Yahoo's Charles Robinson, chose to use this trend as a way to make a (probably) joke about Bills WR Keon Coleman.
Coleman was benched multiple times this season, and his standing in Buffalo is so bad that the folks in charge are arguing publicly over who chose to draft him in the second round in 2024.

This is what Robinson wrote on X on Wednesday:
"The way things are going in college sports, Keon Coleman may be able to play for Florida State next season!"
Coleman was a star wideout for FSU before coming to the league.
And no, this probably won't actually happen. Robinson knows that, and he surely had a chuckle to himself when he posted this idea on X.
But it emphasizes a couple things:
College sports are on a weird trajectory.
Coleman's time in Buffalo has been brutal.

It seems likely at this point that the Bills at least entertain the idea of trading Coleman (to another NFL team, to be clear).
It'll be hard for him to come back from this negativity in Buffalo.
