Overtime Elite made its first splash on the pre-college market, inking top juniors Matt Bewley and Ryan Bewley to massive deals on Friday. In turn, the NCAA needs to now pay attention.

Getting some context out of the way first, the two players are signing two-year deals that will reportedly earn each more than seven figures over the course of their stay with the brand new league.

For those unaware, Overtime Elite is a new league that is similar to the overseas academy models. Focusing on top level junior and senior high school players, the league plans to launch in the fall, utilizing talents normally with four to five stars on recruiting websites, but paying them before they go to the NCAA.

Obviously, that makes the players ineligible to play college basketball.

However, with the PCL also launching in the fall (formerly the HBL) — a league that will pay its college athletes with money and school fees — there might be a natural connecting point between the two. While guys like Matt Bewley and Ryan Bewley — they are brothers, it's worth noting — will no longer be able to play for a Duke or whoever, they can play two years in Overtime Elite then transition to the PCL.

Basically, in theory at least, if their two years with Overtime Elite end up with them not turning pro in the NBA, they will still have the ability to keep playing, getting paid to play, and getting school paid for them by the PCL.

Both leagues are relying heavily on attempting to scoop up top-20 talents. The main difference is Overtime Elite focusing on high school juniors and seniors, while the PCL will focus on kids who would traditionally be ready to commit to a school out of high school.

Nevertheless, with Matt Bewley and Ryan Bewley both considered top-15 recruits in their class, as well as potential future NBA Draft picks, Overtime Elite just put the NCAA on notice.
