I agree 100% with Pete Carroll. The NCAA, which claims it is athlete-friendly, took way too long to make this decision (2 days until USC's first game).

This whole thing reminds me of what happened to Donte Stallworth a couple years ago, where he filed to go pro, but later rescinded that declaration, then the NCAA already revoked his amateurism status. Now there's a rule where athletes are allowed to return to school in a similar situation. In this instance, with the court rulings, there won't need to be a new rule.

The NCAA should know better.
