I am not sure this is quite true; I mean, sure, for the 20 or so who make this decision, yes, it would suck.  But...for one thing, everyone said the one and dones would ruin the game, and it hasn't.  So having truly talented players around for two years would be bad? I think not.  And, truth be told, I think in some cases these guys would benefit from an extra year of college coaching and age-appropriate competition.  Also... given the FBI scrutiny, which, I think, would dampen the sort of extracurricular activities (at least the most brazen)... wouldn't this be a good time to try something new and put the rule in, when coaches and staffs are on somewhat better behavior?

We're also better people, too.  :)

For all the talk of the Project Veritas scandal -- and let's face it, they really shit the bed here -- this, I think, should be getting MORE publicity.  Also, this sort of thing underscores the need for Project Veritas, because...well, reading this story, one would think that the average reporter exists only to dig dirt up on and attack GOPers; I don't know...as I said during the last gubernatorial race, if John Kasich had been with a chick in a parked car, we;d know everything about her...but a Dem from Cuyahoga County...silence.
