Lane Kiffin says NFL players should not return to college football

LSU football coach Lane Kiffin expressed his view on the 'Pat McAfee Show' on August 25, stating that NFL players should not be allowed to return to college football. He noted the exception for players like Dae’Quan Wright, who is part of a legal case that has granted certain athletes another season of eligibility. Kiffin remarked on the complexities of the situation, especially regarding temporary restraining orders related to eligibility. The Big Ten announced a new rule prohibiting prospective players from declaring for the NFL draft and returning, while the SEC has not established similar regulations but opposes the idea of NFL players returning to college sports. Kiffin indicated that LSU was not the only school interested in recruiting Wright, highlighting active interest from multiple programs.
