Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh has some suggestions which he believes would help NFL prospects.
In an open letter published Thursday, Harbaugh outlined three proposals which he believes could re-shape the future for college football players:
- The individual could choose to declare for the professional draft after any season he chooses. If he is drafted within the first 224 picks of the NFL Draft, or chooses to sign a free agent contract, he would forego remaining college eligibility. However, if the individual is not drafted within the first 224 picks of the NFL Draft, he would be able to return to college football if he chooses without penalty, provided he remains in academic compliance and does not receive payment from an agent.
