Mattis Slams Door on Military Academy Athletes Immediately Turning Pro
Military.com | 2 May 2017 | by Richard Sisk
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis scrapped a policy Monday that allowed some military academy athletes to turn pro right after graduation.
In a memo, Mattis said all graduates of the military academies and the Reserve Officer Training Corps will have to serve at least two years of active duty before being allowed to consider offers from the NFL, the NBA or other professional sports organizations.

Excellent. Stupid idea in the first place. Frankly, I'm not even keen on the two years and out policy unless the guy is Not Physically Qualified for line duty (David Robinson becoming NPQ because of his height, for example.)
