Tennessee athletics director Danny White said NFL players attempting to return to college football was an "avoidable circumstance."
But it's too late to head off the problem. Now numerous players cut from NFL rosters are planning to join college football rosters, particularly with coach Lane Kiffin at LSU.
A frustrated White told Knox News that a collective bargaining agreement would've solved this problem years ago.
"This is yet another example, along with hundreds of other things, that could be included in a CBA," White said on Aug. 25. "It would be clearly and transparently understood by all parties involved. But for some reason, we're not able to do that. And here we are."
White is headed to SEC headquarters in Birmingham, Alabama, for a regularly scheduled meeting of conference leaders on Aug. 25. They will undoubtedly discuss the issue of NFL players trying to play for SEC teams. Other conferences already have taken action.
