NCAA conferences consider rules against NFL players returning to college

NCAA conferences are taking action to prevent NFL players from returning to college football. The Big Ten is set to pass a rule that bans any player who has declared for the NFL draft or appeared on an NFL roster from joining its teams. LSU is reportedly landing former NFL players Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris, prompting scrutiny from the SEC and ACC, which are also considering similar restrictions. The SEC plans to instruct its athletic directors against accepting players who have signed professional contracts, while the ACC is also set to discuss a pro-player ban. The rule changes come after a recent Louisiana court ruling allowed several players to return to college sports after playing in the NFL this summer.
