I've been unfortunate enough to require Tommy John surgery forcing me to take a fifth year (csb), so I have a pretty strong opinion on the topic that I'll save for later in the thread.

So what say you?

I hate the idea of the NCAA implementing rules that would negatively affect the game. It's like government, once the rule is in play, there is no going back...despite any common sense or even evidence to the contrary. It would be very likely that it would go too far.

The truth is that not every player is the same, and not every player has as much to lose as another. And, the player needs to take on the responsibility of protecting himself. I do not accept that the NCAA needs to protect players from themselves.

Having said that, what Fox did was waaaay over the line. He needs to be held accountable. I don't think that every coach would do the same thing...even in the same circumstances.
