Yea, they are going to turn down a scholarship to take a position with a semi-pro team making $250 a game.


These are what most of those players are like:


Then we are in agreement.

Away from college, the market value for a kid is less than $250/game (because the 18 year old still has to beat out a 22 year old for the job).

A college who spends tens of thousands per year in direct benefits is infinitely better.

It'll probably take Muffets a while to figure out that corner he painted himself into. If he comes back, watch the narrative change.

Because they suck. That is the market value for those players. I do not understand why you have such a hard time understanding that. That fact that the NFL essential has a monopoly is why College Football can get away with throwing the players crumbs instead of paying their worth to their programs. They use CF as their Farm System and nobody wants to challenge them with that.
