Imagine that a star Colorado tailback has a falling-out with the coaching staff at midseason, mysteriously is left home from a trip to Iowa State (causing some to speculate that he actually is being rewarded), leaves campus, explores his options and ultimately signs a contract with the Green Bay Packers the next week.

The apocalypse would be upon us.

Something similar is happening in college hockey.

The NHL should implement a rule that once an NCAA player appears in one game in a season, he can't be signed until his team's season is over. (read rest of article)

Basketball and Football already have one too many problems with their young athletes, sure some of them are professional and respectful to the sport and those around them but others... have way too big of an ego problem. The NHL needs to stop the money waving and let young players develop. I don't want to see players 5-10 years from now develop into guys like Terrel Owens... Football, Basketball, Baseball THEY CAN KEEP THIS KIND OF CRAP! It's one of the things that makes hockey special. Hockey doesn't need it!
