Very interesting article and thank you for sharing!

I find it quite interesting that “Of the 490 incoming athletes penalized for amateurism violations last year, 434 were foreign students, according to the NCAA.” It’s clear that there’s some lack of communication somewhere.

I’m all for athletes being able to go back to school, but I don’t think is actually going to encourage that. What 20 year-old athlete is going to want to go back to school (and not get paid), when they could be making a living playing their sport?

Like almost every “improvement” proposed by the NCAA, this has to be scrutinized with a grain of salt. The next time the NCAA gets the professional-amateur distinction right will be the first.

With that said, this proposal makes sense in theory, provided they adjust it accordingly for the issues such as the negligible salaries in MiLB.
