NFL Players Returning to College | Oregon Ducks Football News

Oregon Ducks coach Dan Lanning is sounding the alarm on NFL players returning to college football, calling it unfair to athletes who commit fully to their teams year-round. With some pros even playing in preseason games before heading back to college for NIL deals, the NCAA’s authority is crumbling — creating a chaotic “Wild West” scenario. Lanning insists once you’re drafted, you’re done with college, arguing that bringing players back forces cuts on current rosters, harming those who’ve sacrificed everything. Despite potential benefits for programs like Oregon, he’s firmly against the trend. New court rulings and an outdated eligibility model are fueling confusion, leaving college athletics in uncharted territory as the future of fairness hangs in the balance.
