They're working out. So who cares if their scholly gets pulled? Players are commodities. They're treated as such by their coaches, recruiting sites, the media, fans, the schools, scouts, etc. Anything they can do to protect their value is within their interest. You can control what you can control, and playing in a meaningless game is something that can be controlled. Even if it's a "fluke" thing - a fluke doesn't happen to you if you don't let it. Also, there isn't a system in place to help guys who hurt their draft stocks. And there never will be. Any kind of financial compensation for injuries incurred would acknowledge that players are employees. That's why this trend will rightfully continue. [/QUOTE]
