re: Just bring on a NFL minor league at this point.

This is why NIL for the most part is BS. Lets say the NFL started an actual development league...there would be next to zero interest. An 18 year old being able to run fast, throw a football accurately, catch passes has zero value other than being tied to a CFB brand. The value is the brand, not the player. If the game was being played by glorified frat guys, people would still fill stadiums like they did in the 1920s...when the game was being played by glorified frat guys
