From EDSBS.com:
Bush, a running back from 2003-2005 for the University of Southern California, said the decision was a difficult one, but necessary for his success in the long run.
“I realize that I need a little more time to prepare for the pro game, and will be accepting salary offers from D1 schools for the next month.”
When reached for comment, compliance director for the NCAA John Babbage had his doubts about the validity of Bush’s bid to become the first pro athlete to return to the pro ranks.
“First, it’s against NCAA bylaws to pay players, something we’re not sure Mr. Bush understands. Second, by declaring himself in the NFL draft after his junior year–and I’d have to check the rules on this, of course–he has likely forfeited his status as an amateur and has no remaining eligibility left.”
Babbage added: “I’m also pretty sure we don’t have a draft, either.”
Pure genius. Read the rest at the link above.
