[QUOTE="AlabamaBuzz, post: 657036, member: 906"] I have said for years that there should be, for high school players that have NO desire for a college education, a minor league PRO system. I know many people, including NFL owners, don't want to hear that, but that is where we are right now. For those not wanting to play in this minor league PRO system, the payoff for going to school and playing football at the same time, will be a 100% free college education (including a small stipend for intangibles, but this has to be exactly the same for all schools). I am even o.k. with making it possible for kids who get to within 1 year of graduation after playing their eligibility out, the school would still have to pay for them to finish up to one full year. We all know how hard it is to play a sport like football and graduate on time with decent grades, especially if your major is difficult. That should be the "pay" for STUDENT athletes, in my opinion. For those that want to make a living playing football immediately after high school, no one, including the NFL or NCAA, should be able to stop them, but they can do it in a PRO minor league system.
