What do you think ?
I like it for football and basketball. Say for example Errol Thompson doesn't get drafted he could then come back.
I like it. However there should still be a rule regulating agents. It would be a easy way to funnel money to a kid.
What are "lifetime" scholarships? Does this mean you get a 4-year ride upon signing?
OK for non-drafted to come back. Not so sure about the other three items he listed. Don't think I agree with them at first glance.
I think in football mostly it would create more problems.
I basically disagree with all of the proposals. And I disagree with these elected officials wasting time drawing up different bills. The only one I struggle with is the transfer rule. I would rather see a free transfer granted once if the player plays fewer than 50% of snaps or something like that. Otherwise, all players should have to sit out 1 year, except grad transfers, no other exceptions. It's too uneven right now on who gets granted a waiver and who doesn't. And there has to be some sort of safeguard for the schools.
The only one I really agree with would be the 4 year scholarship and that would have to have some language to protect the school in case of discipline issues or something like that .... I really don't like the transfer rule either. I'm reminded of coming to a realization in the reception station at Fort Jackson of what have I done? - I don't think I really want to be here .... but having no other viable choice I had to stick it out- and it wasn't so bad after accepting the situation and ended up making the most of it. Commitment means just that - knowing you can get out of a commitment = no commitment to begin with
It seems like you'd have to have the pro drafts prior to signing day for this not to be a major headache for both coaches and the majority of the players.
I think the federal government needs to get its nose out of college sports.
Would have been nice to get Bear and Beniquez Brown back.
I like it. Bring them back.
