Right now there are a few players who were signed by NFL teams that are now attempting to exploit what they see as a loophole and return to play college football. A lot of NFL and college coaches and front office people have been asked about it and many of them have some strong opinions. Most notably Colts GM Chris Ballard who said plainly that he thinks it’s the “stupidest s–t I’ve ever heard”.
Tuesday it was Raiders GM John Spytek and assistant GM Brian Stark’s turn in front of the media. The subject came up to them. Stark answered first and attempted to be diplomatic about it before backing away from it.

“Yeah, I mean, I can’t fault the players for if it’s permissible and that’s available to them,” said Stark. “I haven’treally thought much about it to be honest with you. We’ve been pretty busy here the last few weeks, so Ihaven’t put too much thought into it. But if it’s available to them, if that’s an option, it’s hard to fault themfor doing it. But that’s about all I got on that.”
After that it was Spytek’s turn and he had the perfect response — “I’m not giving you any Chris Ballard quotes.”
