Jim Harbaugh has some things he would like to change in the world of college football.
The Michigan head coach sent out an open letter addressed to the “football community” on Thursday. In the letter, Harbaugh addressed several issues, but mainly focused on NFL eligibility rules for college players.
Presently, players must be three years removed from high school to be eligible for selection in the NFL draft. Harbaugh wants to change that and instead allow players the ability to enter the draft at any point in their college career. Additionally, Harbaugh’s proposal would allow players who go undrafted to return to school “without penalty, provided he remains in academic compliance and does not receive payment from an agent.
