We all have rules just like we do here, can't do that, better not do that, we spent our lifetime dealing with these rules. Yep, the NCAA has it's rules and it should be no big deal. If ya want the job ya abide by those rules like we all do/did at work. I had to wear a tie, I had to be clean shaven, I had to meet for breakfast hungry or not, all part of the job. You wanna play college football you do what you are allowed, just that simple. If you don't want to deal with the NCAA then don't, there are other things to do besides football.
All this....these players are being used,,,,is total BS, no they aren't, none of them were kidnapped, they came to Alabama, USC, LSU, all on their own. The school will give them the platform t display their skills. So both are making out. And this deal about $$$$$$, do regular students get paid, ah....nope, so why should football players?
I'm cool with how things are right now, only thing I;d change is if a player signs on for 4 years he must honor that commitment, the NFL can't touch him until that commitment is honored.
Way back when Carlton "Cookie" Gilchrist went straight from HS to the CFL, then the Buffalo Bills.
What if you want to play in the NFL, and are maybe are good enough, but DON'T want to play college football?
NCAA and NFL are independent organisations.
NCAA is supposed to be about education.
Should athletes who arent academic be forced to do college? By going and not graduating they may have missed out on a career e.g. apprenticeship, which doesnt require college.
Note that, I'm a huge advocate of education, and applaud anyone who gets a good education via a sports scholarship.
