The SEC's New Draft Policy
The episode kicks off with a discussion about the SEC's recent policy changes regarding college athletes entering professional drafts. The SEC announced a new policy that prohibits an athlete from being on a roster if they have previously declared for the NFL, NBA, or WNBA draft and did not appropriately withdraw, signed a contract with a professional league, or been listed on a professional roster. This vote was unanimous, 16-0, among all SEC schools.
Dan Le Batard questions the implications of this unanimous vote, especially for schools like LSU. He points out that if LSU voted for this policy, why would they then allow a player like Maason Smith, who participated in an NFL preseason game, to join their team? The hosts speculate that the unanimous vote might have been a strategic move to show solidarity among the schools, even if individual athletic departments might disagree. This policy change is seen as a direct response to the increasing trend of college athletes exploring professional opportunities before committing to college, and the NCAA's perceived inability to regulate it effectively. The Big Ten conference had previously issued a similar, more strongly worded statement, which prompted the SEC to follow suit.
