Coaches To Challenge Draft Rule

hagan714 · 05-08-2007, 06:24 AM

Several prominent BCS coaches are pushing their university presidents to petition the NCAA for an NFL draft opt-out rule that would allow eligible underclassmen who declare for the draft to return to school if they don't hire an agent--much like in college basketball. The cutoff date likely would be after the Scouting Combine--possibly March 1--which would allow players time to judge their draft prospects.

Actually I like the idea. I know the coaches are to talk with the players before hand but sometimes the agents get the best of them.
