[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 232136, member: 322"] Money. There is a viable farm league in college which is lucrative to those involved outside of the athletes who get sham degrees and injuries with no continuing medical coverage. Also, there is the somewhat legitimate argument that players bodies need to develop before they can play against the bigger stronger men in the NFL. There is a lot more contact in the NFL than NBA or baseball. It would be more expensive to "warehouse" the football players for those years while they develop, and NCAA football is >>>>>> more popular and lucrative than the MLB minors or NBA farm teams. As to the argument about another curriculum for a performing "arts" football degree, ain't gonna happen at GT. I have no problem with it happening at other schools though as I have said for years that NCAA football is like getting a performing arts degree in playing an instrument. And there is a reason for the saying "starving musician" applies to the vast majority of performing musicians. We just will continue to be non-competitive at the elite NCAA football levels. There are worse things. [/QUOTE]
