Big Ten to Ban Players on NFL Rosters

The Big Ten Conference is set to pass a rule preventing players who appeared on NFL rosters from competing in the conference, according to ESPN.

The Big Ten Conference is reportedly implementing a rule that would ban 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. This decision follows several high-profile cases of players returning to college football after brief professional stints.

The Southeastern Conference has also issued a statement opposing former professional athletes returning to college competition, stating that 'College sports are for college athletes' and supporting the Protect College Sports Act, a bipartisan federal bill designed to establish guardrails for NIL and college eligibility. chincha.pl
