"The Big 10 and Pac-12 want freshman ineligibility. They claim only to want to examine the issue, but when was the last time you examined something you didn’t want?
Their motives seem noble. Re-emphasizing the student in the “student-athlete” equation. De-escalating the increasing “professionalism” of college sports. Providing a buffer year for student-athletes to transition to college life.
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz told ESPN that this rule change “would be one of the healthiest things we could do for college sports right now.”
I’ll take them at their word, although I have a feeling something more sinister is also at play."

The Big 10 and Pac-12 are trying to cut the legs out from under the SEC football monster.

Its so funny that more than a few people think this is a real threat.

SEC Football would push for a jump to the NFL (heck, NFL might take them, plus UK Hoops would become a NBA Expansion team) before allowing a freshmen ineligibility rule to ever go into effect (again).
