Great kid, wants to be a Royal. Just wait until the strength coach gets this kid in the weight room. Diamond in the rough, likes to hit people. The only thing he knows how to do is win. Don't think Heisman think Heismans.

On top of that, he won't last too long in MLB if he is continually plunking batters.

Yeah, any kid who turns down MLB money to play college football is making a bad decision. Apart from the money angle, 50 year old baseball players generally can still walk and don't have dementia. And if baseball doesn't work out, the football eligibility is still there afterwards.

Actually the NCAA change their rules on this to prevent guys playing minor league baseball from coming back to play college football as 24 or 25 year old freshman. Their eligibility clock starts the fall after they sign a MLB contract, so if Starling does play for the 3 years he signed for and calls it quits he would only have 1 year left to play college football.

When did they make that change?

thats actually incorrect.

and for the record, it was pretty obvious that he was gonna play baseball. but we took a flier on the 0.000001% chance that he wanted to play football.

Can you confirm the attempted murder of Athletic Department employees at the hands of the Pelini brothers during an anger filled rampage due to the decision?
