Free agency, which is what this amounts to, even as a reward for getting a degree, is bad for the sport.


Free agency is still a relatively new thing in the NFL. It has only been around the last 20 years or so. It didn't used to be that way.

When a kid signs, he is also committing his amateur status to that school in exchange for the scholarship. It's not indentured servitude by any stretch of the imagination and they are free to leave anytime and play elsewhere just not within the conference unless approved by the coach.

Kids sign at schools and the rules are very clear. When things don't work out the way they want, then they want to ignore the rules that have been in place.

It's pretty simple. Follow the rules that have always been in place.
