What do you think it's about then?
It's never going to fly either way. The more likely thing is some sort of adjustment to the APR which forces teams to have more multi year players. What's amusing to me is that the program most everyone puts on a pedestal, Duke starts more freshmen than UK, and has a least one OAD player. Many, many programs across the country have freshmen who start or get significant minutes. I don't think there's any doubt the people floating this rule are trying to get rid of OAD's while conveniently ignoring how many teams are playing freshmen. The fact that it's only being proposed for basketball and football leaves no doubt what it's aimed at.
