Proposals to Curb Professionalism in College Football
At the annual congress the National Collegiate Athletic Association adopted two key resolutions to curb professionalism in college football. One bars any college athlete who plays for a professional team during college or within two years after graduation from varsity insignia. The second prevents a college coach from playing professionally while holding a collegiate post, addressing coaches who backdoor pros via star players. The NAC A has no enforcement power, but 400 member colleges support the measures, unlike the Western Conference which enforces its rules.
