    NCAA won't let Mike Williams play

    Bad decision. This kid got screwed by the NFL and the NCAA imo.


    The NCAA has denied the reinstatement request by Southern California wide receiver Mike Williams, handing down its ruling Thursday. USC has filed a seperate request.

        What rules? The NFL led him to believe he could be in the draft.

        As for the NCAA..........I'm not even gonna start. They make millions of these kids. It's a damn joke.

            I agree, the kid is getting screwed over.




            For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

              The rule is there so you don't have a bunch of idiots quitting college to try and make it into a pro sport that less than 1% of college football players make a living from. Most players that come out of High school and freshmen or sophomore year of college are not big enough, strong enough, or mature enough to deal with the NFL life. They get a free education; they should take advantage of it! I didn't play sports in college so I have college loans. I feel no pity for some one who passes up a free education to run after a pipe dream.

                    NCAA makes millions off college FB. Thier rules are stupid. Coachs can't even buy a kid a meal.

                      Because an athlete should be concentrating on what college is the best for him to learn AND play football at. Not what college will give me more stuff to play there. We have pro sports already we don't need colleges paying athletes in any way shape or form.

                      Now I think they should have some type of stipend program for these athletes since most don't have the time to get a part time job. Plus many of the athletes that get the scholarships come from lower income families who can't afford the tuition let alone the money for books, cloths, food, and other misc. stuff that all college kids need. All athletes would get the same amount of money no matter if you were 1st string or 4th string.

                            I would like to see the NFL let him in a supp draft. I doubt they will.
