NCAA president Charlie Baker on Tuesday clarified his organization's position on college eligibility for players with NBA experience.

The official stance came in the wake of Baylor signing former NBA draft pick James Nnaji and amid reports that current NBA player Trentyn Flowers is pursuing college eligibility.

"The NCAA has not and will not grant eligibility to any prospective or returning student-athletes who have signed an NBA contract (including a two-way contract)," Baker said in a statement.
