ace,
you know, i really do like you; you stick around no matter what. don't let wind get taken out of your sails, regardless and so forth. i don't mean this in a bad way, but that analogy really makes little sense to me. plame:covert as ncaa college player:student. um, no. when plame was a noc, she was a noc. when she retired from that role, she wasn't actively conducting covert activities, but her previous covert status was permanently classified.
furthermore, that player (sort of factually) is a student. that's what they are, by definition. if they talk to nba scouts at the wrong time, if their college coach sets up talks at the wrong time, if they accept gifts, so on and so forth, they get fined, the college gets fined. if they take certain types of professional merchandise, if they have an official team jersey with numbers, if they do a lot of other things. why? because they are a college student and treating them in certain ways is illegal. sort of like blowing the cover of a formerly covert noc.
