Big Ten to Ban NFL Roster Players

The Big Ten Conference is reportedly implementing a rule that would prevent 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 comes after several NFL players returned to college football this summer, with 16 players in Louisiana obtaining temporary restraining orders to play a fifth collegiate season.

Lane Kiffin has added three former NFL players to LSU's roster, while former Oregon State running back Anthony Hankerson is expected to return to college after being waived by the Seattle Seahawks. The SEC has released a statement supporting the Protect College Sports Act, which aims to establish guardrails regarding name, image and likeness and college eligibility. umafrika.club
