If it gets to that, Universities should drop sports and let the pro's develop their own minor leagues.
Completely agree. I don't think the Universities want to let go of the revenue streams though. I can imagine a lot of the smaller schools may cancel football, or turn it into a club type sport, if that's even possible, if this type of model takes over.

1950’s is the last time football had student athletes. Other sports were later.
quote:
Colleges offered all manner of compensation to talented athletes. Yale reportedly lured a tackle named James Hogan with free meals and tuition, a trip to Cuba, the exclusive right to sell scorecards from his games—and a job as a cigarette agent for the American Tobacco Company. Ibid.; see also Needham, The College Athlete, McClure’s Magazine, June 1905, p. 124. The absence of academic residency requirements gave rise to “ ‘tramp athletes’ ” who “roamed the country making cameo athletic appearances, moving on whenever and wherever the money was better.” F. Dealy, Win at Any Cost 71 (1990). One famous example was a law student at West Virginia University—Fielding H. Yost— “who, in 1896, transferred to Lafayette as a freshman just in time to lead his new teammates to victory against its arch-rival, Penn.” Ibid. The next week, he “was back at West Virginia’s law school.” Ibid. College sports became such a big business that Woodrow Wilson, then President of Princeton University, quipped to alumni in 1890 that “ ‘Princeton is noted in this wide world for three things: football, baseball, and collegiate instruction.’ ”

You can’t skip college. I mean I guess you can but no NFL team is drafting a player who hasn’t played in 3 years and the last tape on him was against HS kids. The NFL has a rule about being 3 years removed from HS. They aren’t budging on that either. Players can try and challenge it all they want, they won’t win. The NFL has a collective bargaining agreement and antitrust exemptions that hold in court.

We in a time now I could see the NFL losing in court… depends on the judge… I agree with the 3 year rule but with colleges having to pay players now they can’t afford to be the minor league for the NFL anymore… under the current format eventually NFL teams would have to subsidize college conferences… which is only right seeing as their entire pool of employees come from that system

We still call them student athletes at West Point. Same at the other academies. No NIL. Transfer portal only one way- out. We had a Heisman Finalist and a Tewaaraton Award Finalist (Heisman equivalent for lacrosse).

But you said they don’t get money… they do. They are considered employees. Not what NIL or as much as old recruiting practices but they’ve always received money. You said they didn’t.

Would they even be students? If not then they will do a disservice to the athletes when only what 2 percent really make it?
Think requiring class, grades etc will have to remain.

I bet they would if he has the tools they are looking for and has stayed in shape, studied the game, and developed with coaches, etc.
College programs have no leverage over the players. The best ones are going to the NFL one way or another.

The top schools-Ivy League, Stanford, Duke, Rice, Vandy and Notre Dame have legit student athletes. Also the D-III
schools, mostly in the Northeast.
