Not a huge Izzo fan, but we need more common sense voices like his speaking loudly, bodly, and with extreme disdain toward the idiots who are making these cowardly decisions.

Slippery slope - will they now allow NFL or NBA players who don’t like their contracts or only make the practice squad to come back if they still have eligibility? What does “eligibility” mean anyway? I fully expect retired pro players to start coming back to college because with the new Pavia “JUCO doesn’t count” rule they suddenly have 2 more years of “eligibility”..
 
I have much less problem with the Pavia's of the world staying for 10 years than allowing a PRO guy to come back and play.

There has to be some limit. The alternative is to just separate the money-making sports from the universities more like european / asian company "club" teams that tour and are paid and have nothing to do with the college. They're only a face of the brand.

Eligibility is just a construct now.
