The Big Ten Conference is looking at the anarchy and chaos in college sports. It has apparently had enough of this foolishness in which players can practice for NFL teams and then come back to the college game, as we have also seen in basketball. The Big Ten has taken a stand against allowing NFL players to play for its member schools. College Sports Wire has more:

"Sometimes, when everyone is standing around and waiting for a leader to step up, it falls on you to become that leader. The Big Ten took on that role Tuesday morning, reportedly coming together as a conference and planning to vote on a new rule that would block players who have declared for the NFL from returning to the college level for one more year of eligibility granted by the new "5-for-5" scholarship rule. According to ESPN's Pete Thamel, any player who declared for the NFL draft and did not withdraw, appeared on an NFL roster, or signed a contract with a pro league cannot be on a Big Ten roster.

"This has been a major conversation over the past week after a temporary restraining order was granted for former college athletes who would have otherwise been granted an extra year of eligibility under the new scholarship rule, had it not been passed after they left for the NFL. We've seen players like Dae'Quan Wright, a former Ole Miss TE who signed with the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent this summer, ask to be waived by the Browns so he could come back to school, enter the transfer portal, and join Lane Kiffin with the LSU Tigers."
