re: Mike Slive against freshman ineligibility

Hey, uh, I'm just gonna be neighborly and help you out, Prof. He was asking if you are a professor at UT because you said, "have been told their not good," which uses the wrong form of the "there, their, and they're" series.

But back to the topic at hand, this idea might actually be a good idea from a developmental standpoint, but the pro leagues would all have to adopt new rules about draft eligibility. Otherwise, the "one and doners" that programs like UK use now would just go to Europe to play for their one year then go pro. The NFL wouldn't be too effected by it since guys would still get 2 years on the field minimum, and they would get to be more physically mature when they see the field for the first time. I'm not sure that college baseball would be too effected since guys that go to college have to wait 3 years to go pro anyway, I think. College soccer would be damaged more (which is honestly a good thing for the sport in the US).

But yeah, this rule change would probably be a clusterfrick. I doubt it happens. There's just too much opposition, and even supporters of it have to realize there will be challenges that have to be ironed out before the rule can be changed. I just don't think all of the challenges can be mutually solved.
