What the new, more professionalized version of college football really needs is a draft, salary cap and restricted free agency, just like all the other pro sports. That'll bring more parity to the sport.

I think it would be great. The same handful of teams wouldn't get the pick of the litter every single year. Sky high recruiting budgets would be redirected to nationwide scouting. The ridiculous facility arms race would end, too.

So lemme get this straight... yer gonna DRAFT an 18 y/o kid to a university... a kid who wants to be an engineer drafted by say Alabama, instead of Auburn which has a markedly better engineering program in virtually every field...

That's one of the dumbest frickin things I've read in a while. Do I believe EVERY student whom Nick or Kirby recruit fits perfectly at the University? Nope. But it's the choice they made, hopefully with the help of family, for their college opportunities.
