SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 ban NFL players returning to college; ACC still reviewing

The SEC, Big Ten, and Big 12 conferences have officially banned NFL players from returning to play college football, closing the door on any potential second chances for professional players at the collegiate level. The ACC is the only remaining Power Four conference that has not yet made a final decision, and is still reviewing the matter. The move affects three of the four major college football conferences, leaving the ACC's stance as the last outstanding ruling among the Power Four.
