[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 814003, member: 1640"] I understand. My point is that colleges have quotas for virtually every conceivable category of student (I was on the President’s cabinet at a small college, so trust me). Yet when it comes to college football we want to “draft” as many semi-pros as possible and then say it’s all about not limiting college admission (and having our cake and eating it too). Even med schools tell students “we’ve met our quota for OBGYN this year but you could enter our gerontology program.” I guess my frustration, whether my idea is totally stupid or not, is that half the time we act like connection to the learning environment is paramount and other times we say it’s really about money and winning. As the college landscape transitions away from amateurism it might be time to try one more time to “balance” entering classes of football players the way we balance classes for all other students.
