At the moment , players are only eligible for the draft after being out of high school for three years .
As a close buddy of mine pointed out , the age restriction change would probably hit the SEC the hardest .
The SEC dominates the draft , and most younger players entering early would probably be from that conference .

As @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to college again , I ’ m kind of torn on that .
I feel like you can ’ t have every player entering the draft every year knowing they can go back to college .

Players who get drafted or sign a deal as a free agent wouldn’t be allowed to come back under the plan put forward by Harbaugh. Currently, undrafted players aren’t allowed to return.
The Michigan coach also wants college players to be able to enter the NFL draft whenever they want. At the moment, players are only eligible for the draft after being out of high school for three years.

thedailycaller--2020-05-08--REVIEW: ‘Homeland’ Is Excellent In Season 5

I cruised through “ Homeland ” season five and it was excellent on every level .
As you all know , I ’ ve been isolating at home during coronavirus , and this means that I ’ ve been crushing different shows and movies .
( REVIEW : ‘ Westworld ’ Season 3 Ends With The Possible Deaths Of Multiple Characters ) After not watching “ Homeland ” since season three ended ( shoutout to Brody ) on Showtime , I finally fired it back up on Hulu .
Season four was incredible and I was immediately hooked back in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ five and it was just as good , if not better , than season four .
This show is so damn good !
Most of season five takes place in Germany .
It opens with Carrie ( Claire Danes ) out of the CIA working for a German billionaire ; Saul is up to his usual stuff ; Quinn has returned from 28 months in Syria and it ’ s time to get down to business .
I won ’ t spoil anything , but the plot is relatively simple by “ Homeland @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be a massive terrorist attack and Carrie is intent on stopping it .
One of the best parts about the season is Quinn .
It really feels like he had an expanded role here and I loved it .
Quinn ’ s a fascinating character .
He ’ s violent by nature , but equally as protective of Carrie .
Above all else , he loves her and that tears at him .
To say he has a sad ending to the season would be an understatement , but again , you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for yourself when you see it .
Naturally , like any other season of “ Homeland , ” there are traitors , twists and turns and plenty of surprises along the way .
I feel like such a damn idiot for stopping “ Homeland ” after season three .
Of all the dumb choices I ’ ve ever made , that ’ s right up there with the worst of them .
“ Homeland ” is such a badass show and you ’ re missing out if you ’ re not watching !
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ mysteries and more , you can catch the first seven seasons of “ Homeland ” on Hulu .

EXCLUSIVE: ‘Lincoln Would Roll Over In His Grave’: Rod Blagojevich Says FBI Manipulated Media To Oust Him — And They Tried It On Trump Too

Former Illinois Democratic Governor Rod Blagojevich said that new revelations in the Russia investigation prove that the FBI has criminalized routine political behavior in order to take out specific targets .
Blagojevich was convicted in 2011 on corruption charges and served eight years of his 14-year sentence before President Donald Trump commuted his sentence in February .
He spoke at length Friday with the Daily Caller and drew a number of comparisons between his own case and that of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn .
“ I saw this all unfold while I was sitting in prison and it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Blagojevich explained .
“ I saw them using the playbook they had used against me , for practicing politics , for things that aren ’ t crimes.
” The former governor went on to argue that the narrative the media had run with — that he had attempted to “ sell ” the U.S. Senate seat that was left vacant when Barack Obama was elected President in 2008 — was entirely crafted by the FBI .
“ They use these clever names , the ‘ sale of a Senate seat , ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ feed that to the media — these super-sensational accusations — because they know everyone will trip over each other trying to get the story , ” he said .
“ They create a narrative that is too tempting , too explosive for the media to do anything but run with it.
” Blagojevich explained that , after two years and several delays , the appellate court actually reversed the decision on conspiracy to profit from the appointment to replace Obama .
“ They called it ‘ routine political log-rolling , ’ and if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the country would come to a stop because it ’ s the same kind of horse-trading that goes on everywhere , all the time.
” Blagojevich drew another comparison between his own early morning arrest , complete with SWAT teams , and the pre-dawn raid executed last year to bring in Trump associate Roger Stone .
“ I ’ ve been through all of it , the early morning SWAT raid like Roger Stone , the shock and awe , ” he said .
But the real manipulation , Blagojevich said , began @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( RELATED : EXCLUSIVE : ‘ They Did It To Me First ’ — Rod Blagojevich Knew Exactly What The FBI Did To Flynn ) “ They ’ re shakedown artists .
They threatened Flynn ’ s son , they threatened my wife and threatened my brother , ” he said .
“ Then they create the media furor against you , all designed to intimidate and make you say the things they want you to say.
” “ My own chief of staff went to prison for his part in ‘ conspiring @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Blagojevich added , saying that he was threatened with a lengthy prison term and he did what most people would do : he played ball .
“ His reward , for conspiring in a nonexistent crime , was ten days in prison .
They threaten you with long prison terms if you don ’ t cooperate and reward you with short ones if you do.

( RELATED : Newly Released Rod Blagojevich Thanks Trump , Lists New Party Affiliation : ‘ I ’ m A Trumpocrat ’ ) Noting that some of the same players were even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had been the FBI Director when he was arrested — Blagojevich said the playbook was identical to the one they had used against him .
They used the people around Trump , such as Flynn , former Trump personal attorney Michael Cohen and former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort , and they found weaknesses or even crimes that had nothing to do with Trump or Russian collusion .
“ They go to people like that and find that they have weaknesses that have no relation to the target and use that to squeeze @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cave , ” Blagojevich added .
Once Blagojevich went to trial , the prosecution introduced tapes of phone calls that they said contained evidence of the conspiracy to sell Obama ’ s Senate seat — but they only used about 1 % of the taped conversation and had the remainder sealed .
“ It was like the Ukrainian phone call with President Trump , it was just routine politics , discussing ideas , ” explained .
“ They take cherry-picked things they thought they could use and the blocked the release of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my calls and sealed the rest , I couldn ’ t play the rest in court in my own defense.
” Blagojevich said he ’ s still fighting to have the rest of the conversations unsealed .
“ In my long and unhappy experience , I saw how they use trickery and deceit as legal tools .
They lie and they cheat ; they manipulate and minimize evidence ; they hide and cover up exculpatory evidence – evidence that proves innocence .
And to this day , in my case , they are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because those tapes show innocence , ” he said .
The end result in both cases , the former governor argued , was an attempt by the FBI to undo the results of an election .
In his case , it was successful .
“ Trump was lucky , ” Blagojevich noted , saying that even in the face of the accusations against him , he had retained the support of his base .
“ This can not be a Democratic or Republican issue .
It is far too important .
What these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ threatens the fundamental rights of the American people to choose their own leaders through free elections , ” he concluded .
“ Watch out !
If these people keep getting away with what they ’ ve been doing , and their unlimited and unrestrained power continues unchecked , they , without firing a shot or casting a single vote will succeed in choking the life out of our democracy .
Abraham Lincoln would roll over in his grave .
”

Former Illinois Democratic Governor Rod Blagojevich said that new revelations in the Russia investigation prove that the FBI has criminalized routine political behavior in order to take out specific targets.
