Will athletes being allowed to pursue tv money mean more SEC dominance?

If this passes the SEC may be in position to be in control for some time.

At what point do we just allow high school players to go straight into the NFL draft?

That would very much hurt a sport in terms of caliber of player because of development. At least I'd think.

It would be a VERY small number of players that would actually have the chance to be drafted out of high school or even a year into college ball.

Never, no kids are ready to go from high school to NFL.

will never happen. NFL players would literally kill those kids coming into the league with the hits they dish out.

There are probably a few that are.



Maybe not right out of high school, how about 1 year of college football, then to the draft?

no need for that to happen...but if the court rules in favor of college athletes...then the level of competition will skyrocket...

Future Robert NKendickes will be coming out of the woodworks!!!

First of all, did you even read the article? This has nothing to do with "passing." It is a ruling by a judge that allows former players to continue to sue the NCAA for first-run broadcast monies. Former players pursuing lawsuits resulting in more SEC dominance is a non sequitur of the highest order.

Now, ultimately, IF (that's a HUGE IF) the suits are successful, the NCAA may pass changes to their student-athlete compensation rules, but that isn't even mentioned in the article.

tl;dr - OP can't read.
