2. Andy Schwartz (the author of the 13 myths article and frequent contributer in anti-trust cases against the NCAA) proposes the NCAA simplifies to the three following rules. How would NCAA athletics change if this policy was adopted?
(a) All athletes must meet the University criteria for being a full-time student.
(b) You can play for 4 years. (redshirts permitted)
(c) You cannot play if you have played your sport at a major league level. (This means semi-pro and minor league players are eligible.)
