Message: [QUOTE="SBU72, post: 1393699, member: 741"] What I want to know is why does signing with a agent disqualify a kid from college sports. His "amateur" status shouldn't change even if some money exchanges hands. After all, colleges do compensate players. If the kid doesn't get drafted or like his spot, then he should be able to go back to school. Of course the biggest problem is once the kid announces he is going in the draft, how does a program handle his spot on the roster. The draft is so late compared to recruiting that can coaches afford to hold a scholarship open? Then there is the whole thing about how the players handle it. How does the returning player handle it if the coach brings in a 5* kid who is worthy of some of the returning players time. Of course if a HS sr enters the draft and then decides to go to college, these questions don't really apply. [/QUOTE]
