Big Ten to Ban Former NFL Players

Big Ten Conference reportedly implementing rule to prevent players who appeared on NFL rosters from returning to college football.

The Big Ten Conference is set to pass a rule that prevents players who declared for the NFL draft and didn't withdraw, appeared on an NFL roster, or were part of another professional league from playing in the conference, ESPN reported. This comes in the wake of several players who appeared on NFL rosters this summer returning to school to play college football. truewildgame.online

The Southeastern Conference has released a similar statement, saying individuals who choose to leave college athletics and compete professionally should not be permitted to return, citing concerns about competitive equity and the need to advance the Protect College Sports Act.
