I'm of the opinion the NCAA needs to take a stand on this opt out early go to the draft crap.
The NCAA needs to hold these young men and women accountable for their decisions. Oh, you got 3 years of college paid for and didn't fulfill your commitment, pay it back! x2 or x3.
Student athletes didn't sign a commitment to play for 4 years, or even to compete their degree. They sign a LOI, which is an agreement to attend and play sports for that university for 1 year. They are reviewed and renewed annually by the school and the player as well.
So, there is nothing for them to "pay back" if they choose not to return at any point- especially x2 or x3. That is just petty. .
