They can do that (maybe not pay for the education part since I'm sure that would be considered cap circumvention unless the value of the tuition was calculated in)... they just can't get an athletic scholarship or play for the school team but they could still get the education (provided they have the grades). Johnny took a summer semester to get his last few credits after he signed to finish off his degree, Marcus Stroman got his degree from Duke while he was rehabbing etc. etc.
