Now, in the old days, that would have been ludicrous, right? voice-verified

College players have to be amateurs. voice-verified

The moment you turn pro, you give up your amateur status. voice-verified

But those days have changed, and recently the NCAA passed a new rule effectively allowing student athletes to play for five seasons instead of four. voice-verified

Take some more classes, start grad school, and make some tackles. voice-verified

The thing is, hundreds of players had already finished their fourth season last year and did what you'd voice-verified

normally do. voice-verified

They tried to go out and play pro ball. voice-verified

If they weren't good enough to get drafted, they would show up to tryouts, they'd try to get on practice squads. voice-verified

What other opportunities do you have? voice-verified

This rule change meant theoretically, some of them could be eligible again, which has led to this summer, dozens of guys on NFL rosters quitting saying, actually, I'm going back to play college football. voice-verified

Schools themselves. voice-verified

Plus, there's a chance if you go back, you might get more playing time, you get drafted next year. voice-verified
