Is this fair?

Stay with me because it’s not really about football. See, these two players left college after four years of playing (American football). They went to try out with NFL (pro) teams, but didn’t make the cut. Tough, right? Well, there is a loathsome college football coach named Lane Kiffin (LSU) who told those two players who didn’t make the cut, to come back and play for him in college (all college players get paid). It’s legal on a technicality. They voted to let players play a fifth year, but they did not mean after they’d already left college. These guys had already practiced with pros, gone through professional camps. There was such an outrage the loathsome coach didn’t even try to put the “pro” players on the roster. You might think, well, what’s the harm in letting them come back? Well, that’s two spots gone and unavailable to authentic college players. It’s all on hold, and stupidly will be fought out in the courts. Because apparently the courts don’t have enough things to do. Should the “pros” be allowed to come back to college if cut? Should it be solely those who never left college? This is now coming up as other athletes in other sports want to do this.
