Big Ten Bans NFL Return Players

The decision follows several players who appeared on NFL rosters this summer returning to play college football, with 16 players in Louisiana granted temporary restraining orders allowing 2022 high school graduates to play a fifth collegiate season. LSU coach Lane Kiffin has added three former players to his roster this month, while former Oregon State running back Anthony Hankerson is expected to return to college after being waived by the Seattle Seahawks.

The Southeastern Conference released a statement opposing the practice, stating that 'college athletes, not former professional athletes, have been at the heart of the Southeastern Conference' and urging passage of the Protect College Sports Act to establish guardrails regarding name, image and likeness (NIL) and college eligibility. chickenroadslot.pro
