Worth a read. Be interesting to see how the SEC and other conferences respond to this model, specifically these points:
— Decrease the demands placed on the athlete in-season, correspondingly increase the time available for studies and campus life, by preventing the abuse of organized "voluntary" practices to circumvent the limit of 20 hours per week and more realistically assess the time away from campus and other commitments during the season.
— Similarly decrease time demands out of season by reducing out-of-season competition and practices, and by considering shorter seasons in specific sports.
It looks like this is the path that will eventually be college football in a few years.

Nice find. This is a big of news as you'll see in the CFB world between now and fall camp.
Address the "one and done" phenomenon in men's basketball. If the NBA and its Players Association are unable to agree to raising the age limit for players, consider restoring the freshman ineligibility rule in men's basketball.
Seriously, the Pac-12 is actually on point for once. Maybe Larry Scott can keep his job after all.
My plan has no traction. Just treat it simply: split the gate money 50/50, players and university. You go to a game to see the players, right?
Is the freshman-ineligible policy to make sure the best players do not go to Pac 12 schools? And someone needs to remind the author that there is no age limit in the NBA.
The current eligibility rules were established under the NBA's 2005 collective bargaining agreement (CBA), which expired in 2011, resulting in a lockout. The new CBA, approved in December 2011, made no changes to the draft rules, but called for the NBA and its players union to form a committee to discuss draft-related issues.[8][9] The basic rules that started in the 2006 draft are:
All drafted players must be at least 19 years old during the calendar year of the draft.[10] To determine whether a player is eligible for a given year's draft, subtract 19 from the year of the draft. If the player was born during or before that year, he is eligible.
Any player who is not an "international player", as defined in the CBA, must be at least one year removed from the graduation of his high school class.[10]
The "one year out of high school" requirement is in addition to the age requirement. For example, although O. J. Mayo turned 19 in November 2006, six months before his high school graduation, he was not eligible until the 2008 draft, a year after his high school class graduated. Stern stated the rules were business-related and not a "social program", citing the need to see players perform against higher competition before they are evaluated for valuable draft picks.[9]

I think the genesis of this movement, and what people are so uncomfortable with, is the idea that there is all this excitement and interest in college football, but people are horrified with the idea of actually paying the people that are doing all the work.
Commercial pilots have an age limit. NBA players do not.
I learned Rule 7 from the master.
Taco Del Mar abundance.
Well played sir.
