Ohio State people are fighting this by saying too many of these guys want to be in the NFL (oh perish the thought they want to improve theri lives) but for now they are not professionals.



How is it you get at least $100,000 scholarships....and that doesn't make you a pro? Isn't that the very definition?

The bottom line is the NCAA doesn't want partners in their profit sharing program......so they will slap them with something fairly harsh in order to deter violators. However, something very similar happened here back during the 2003 championship season. Those guys, however, were not allowed to play in the championship game. Hmmmmm..........
