[QUOTE="LawTalkin Jacket, post: 280059, member: 1238"] I love this idea. It is a bit like offering studs who want to skip school the opportunity that Europe offers to basketball players for a year in lieu of playing for free. I have suggested such a league for years, but I thought maybe it would be focused here in the SE, but Cali and Texas may be just as good a place to start. You have teams fielding local HS players who couldn't get in to college or who don't want to go. The local kids would generate interest from local fans where the teams are, and the NFL training and draft prep would make for general NFL fan interest. To get it going they need to find the next Jadaveon Clowney and offer him $1,000,000 contract which he couldn't refuse versus playing for free. Steal that kid from USC or Alabama and other kids will notice him wearing gold chains and driving a nice ride while they are eating and sleeping in dorms and having hear Coach scream at them to make it to class. I hate that kids are forced to go play for free even if they hate school and may be ready for NFL. The market should dictate their ability to make a living, not some rules agreed upon by NFL and NCAA fat cats. btw, it will only help the non-factory schools were kids really want an education. Which is really what college football is supposed to be for. [/QUOTE]
