The Big Ten is on the verge of stepping up while the NCAA struggles to react.After two NFL players were allowed to leave their pro teams and join Lane Kiffin’s ever-changing roster at LSU, one of college football‘s most powerful conferences is set to pass a new rule change.Lane Kiffin is shaking up college football and the NFLGettyThe Big Ten plans to enact a new rule on Tuesday that won’t allow players to return from the NFL and play for one of the conference’s schools, according to ESPN. Any player who has declared for the NFL draft and did not withdraw, appeared on an NFL roster, or signed a contract with a pro league would not be eligible to be on a Big Ten roster. The NFL has been directly affected by the NCAA allowing former Cleveland Browns tight end Dae’Quan Wright and former New Orleans Saints defensive lineman Zxavian Harris to return to college. “Man, isn’t this s*** crazy?” Browns head coach Todd Monken recently said. “I don’t even know what to say.“As far as I know, he’s had a medical issue that wasn’t allowing him to practice. That’s a medical issue. It has nothing to do with me.“He was cleared, so we dressed him just in case we had to have him.”Wright and Harris previously played for Kiffin at Ole Miss.The duo are returning to college football to play in the SEC again at LSU, who is now coached by Kiffin. A court order has created an opening allowing for chaos in college football, with players returning to the sport, despite being on NFL rosters and appearing to lose their amateur status. Louisiana’s 19th Judicial District Court granted a temporary restraining order last week. It paved the way for 30 former college athletes, including 16 football players, to return “so long as they terminate any such contract and repay any money they have received prior to playing in a collegiate game.”The Big Ten is pushing back against transfer chaos affecting the NCAA and NFLgettyRyan Day isn’t a fan of the new rule allowing NFL players to return to college ballGettyIt’s taken a potential ruling from the Big Ten to put a stop to the crossover, and the moves could still occur in other college conferences, including the SEC.“Courts across the country granting relief to ineligible athletes who already had every opportunity to compete in college — sometimes without even having a hearing — are failing to appreciate the destabilizing effect their rulings are having on college sports,” the NCAA said in a statement.“The lawyers bringing these cases seemingly won’t be satisfied until every professional athlete can treat college sports as a fallback option, regardless of the opportunities it strips from both those who will never have a chance to begin their collegiate sports experience and those who are currently on campus working out with the team and attending classes. “Thankfully, Congress can right this wrong by passing the bipartisan Protect College Sports Act and ensure student-athletes can have a level playing field with rules that apply fairly to everyone.”NFL Weekly Newsletter - SIGN UP!talkSPORT is your home for NFL in the UK as we launch our biggest year of coverage yet!2026 promises to be an epic year for NFL on talkSPORT – and we want you to join us for the ride.MORE INFO & SIGN-UP HERE!This season will be our biggest ever with live commentary of 90+ games, including behind-the-scenes access to international games and all three London fixtures, plus bumper coverage of Super Bowl 61 at SoFi Stadium.Exclusive interviews, hard-hitting opinion, latest front-office drama and top breaking news – all delivered straight to your inbox each week.Ohio State is currently ranked No. 1 in the country, while the Big Ten is also represented by Michigan, Oregon, Indiana and Penn State.Three of the top six teams in the USA right now are from the Big Ten. “Do I like anything about it?
