IMO I see a semi pro league coming. Give these guys more options than college. Baseball does it. Basketball basically does it. Its unfair to the football players that they have to go to college for nothing while other sports have multiple avenues.
The NFL is not interested in starting farm teams like baseball. It's also American football and there is nowhere else to go to play other than the Canadian league. It's not like basketball where they can go to Europe or Asia to play and earn a pretty good check doing so.
The NFL and certainly the P5 schools are not going to change the status quo to benefit the players. Sitting out a year doesn't help a player at all no matter how good their measurables are. There is no way they can be NFL ready to play given the speed and sophistication of the game at that level even if they have the physical tools.

I think they should. The NFL is their future investment not winning some lame trophy to make the Bama redneck fan base happy.
I think that they enjoy competing at the highest level for championships instead of playing in lower tier bowls such as those put on by th cities of Shreveport, El Paso, and Orlando.
It's perfectly acceptable for the less skilled players on the so-so teams to sit out their low level bowls, IMO.

They should sit.
In spite of the fact that you are trolling, you actually make a good point. Why should a four or five star high school athlete sign a letter of intent to play football in college (most are too stupid or too lazy to actually earn a degree anyway) risking his potential NFL career every time he takes the field in some meaningless college game. They should instead, work out regularly and get in the best possible shape for their appearance at the NFL combine. But maybe there are people who actually play football because they love it and not for mercenary reasons ala Leonard Fournette.

Do you not realize that college football makes players better and more ready for the NFL? It's football school....use your brain.

Gumps need rings so they can walk around at every Gump practice and point to it and say "Get you one of these" for the rest of their lives.

I'm really not seeing the angle you're playing here.
Sorry your RB is a bitch and that Bama has been living rent free in your head since January 2012.

Why are they selling their championship rings?
God, L6U fans are dumb.
The OP said they should sit out the game to prepare for the pros because there's nothing left for them to play for.
It was then pointed out that they could sell the championship rings for a lot of money, so there is something to play for monetarily.

What do LSU fans have in their lives besides Alabama football? Clearly not LSU football since they've made it clear that they don't care about their team actually winning anything that matters. For all their bragging about the great culture of Louisiana and their great pro sports teams that Alabama is too shitty to have, they still spend every waking moment thinking about Alabama football. It's strange.
