    Should undrafted players be allowed to return to school?

    Good column by Jon Solomon about possibly allowing football players who go undrafted to return to school. I'm sure the devil is in the details when it comes to how to deal with agents and runners, but it seems like a potential win-win for both the players and their schools. Solomon does mention the potential roster management problems, which we already see in baseball. It seems to me that guys who want to go pro early because of their family financial situation would be the ones who would most benefit later in life by being able to complete their degrees if they thought they would be drafted and weren't. Also, Bear is the perfect example of someone who could've used another year of football development in college.
