Im not too well versed in college football, I went to a college in a town that had no traffic lights....
Give them a full ride to college and pay them something along the lines of a salary like they have a part time job (Or full time, again unsure of how many hours they spend footballing). Teachers and schools cooking the books is another issue.
Or how about the NFL cant draft college players until they graduate? If they drop out or fail out they have an x year moratorium for playing at a certain level.
Colleges and the NCAA need to stop making money off of students. i like the NFL idea, not so much the payment idea. Colleges ge the most money form sports; yet, sports are the major part ( if not the most) of the required spending. Many as half of all collegiate sports is in the red even after funds.
Now, where is the money needed for research?
I doubt we have enough to pay for them to play. This is not a job, it is an amateur activity. The NCAA should allow theses guys to go to class, get a job, and do want they need. Let the NFL build them up to be lean-mean fighting machines. Not colleges. College is a place of learning, not a business.
