re: Saban hung up his whistle because of this new landscape

I truly think the NFL needs to have minor leagues like baseball. Let kids go that way via a HS draft and get paid and do their thing But those of us who enjoy seeing players come up, develop for a few years then show up on the field and contribute for YOUR team is just awesome.

Just a few short years ago you would be watching early in the year to see the new guys get a chance on the field. Now aside from a few stud freshmen, that doesnt happen You field players that have no connection to the school or the fanbase. It is a recipe for disaster.

So you want BK to be paid $10 million and underwood to get nothing? nobody complained about money when bo davis got paid a record salary. nobody complained about money when texas and ou paid $100 million each to change conferences. now that its the players setting records everybody says the sky is falling.

It's not JUST the sport that's going down the pisser because if money and greed....js
