Can someone explain the rules for college baseball players who get drafted but play college ball anyway?
Sunday, June 14th, 2009Phillip asked:
I know a lot of players get drafted then go to college anyway. I’m curious about the rules. Does the team that drafts a player retain the rights to that player if he goes to college? Is there a rule about how many years you have to stay in college after choosing college instead of turning pro. This whole system seems strange compared to football and basketball. I would like as complete of an answer as possible.
