[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 40700, member: 322"] I would propose that "reasonable" care be taken to prevent injuries. We already do that with the rules to some extent. But I'd make the flagrant rules a lot tougher. If you get ejected from a game for hitting and hurt a person, you not be allowed to play again until the injured person can return to the field. I'd also have lifetime care for injuries sustained in the workplace. That means physical therapy and other assistance. The model I'm thinking of is the military where injuries sustained while in the military are taken care of for life. {The Veterans Administration isn't perfect but they do a lot and have many dedicated people who do a lot for many of our injured soldiers.} The pay side is harder, but colleges could set up a "Performing Art of Football" degree. Get rid of the hypocrisy about an education and focus only on things they care about - interval training protocols, strength training protocols, football kinesiology, nutrition, strategy and tactics, etc. Then pay players according to their recruiting ranking (5 stars get so much, 4 stars less, etc). Each school then has a "salary" cap .... like the NFL ..... of course it will be gamed, just like the NFL. There are ways college football could be done much better. The problem is that with billions of dollars annually involved, people will tell lies continually to get a bigger piece of the pie. Like the NCAA with the outdated concept of student-athlete for elite D1 football players which is a sham. So we are going to end up with a system that serves those with the most money and political power. [/QUOTE]
