If this ruling holds up in the Courts, I don't know that it will have that much of an affect on CFB as we know it. At this point,I'd say it's 50/50 that Clarett declares for the draft if allowed to. Larry Fitzgerald is without a doubt gonna be gone at Pitt.
The NFL is a completely different animal professionally than is the NBAor MLB or the NHL. Football is a game of constant contact. How many truly impact rookies do you see in the NFL every year who have completed 4 years of college and are 22-23 years old? Very few.
I truly feel sorry for MC if he opts for the NFL. For one, The kid hasn't had a full season of injury-free football since he was in 9th grade. Second, he'll be lucky to be drafted in the first three rounds. His dollar value will be nothing compared to what it might be if he could show durability in College.
To answer the question, NO other sophs will try and go pro. Most of these "kids" are surrounded by enough intelligent people to know that 19 & 20 year olds do NOT belong in the NFL. JMO of course.
