[QUOTE="TromboneJacket, post: 864046, member: 2580"] And at least the NFL determines draft order and upcoming opponents in such a way as to increase parity. What’s ridiculous to me is people deciding that college football is a college sport when it’s convenient (such as “You can’t tell a kid where to go to school!”) but suddenly it’s a professional job when it’s convenient too (such as “Well they’re making money for the school, so they deserve to be compensated for it like a professional athlete would.”). Are they student athletes or not? If they are, then it’s not a job, and they need to be treated as students, not paid professionals. If they’re not student athletes but paid professionals, then they can be paid, but it should also be fair game to implement similar policies as any professional sports league, such as contracts, salary caps, drafting, trades, etc. [/QUOTE]
