I will say this: the system is rigged and inherently unfair. These guys are for the most part just not college material and as Saban said come from "disadvantaged backgrounds" They do however, have a unique talent that is worth millions of dollars to the market. However, they are precluded from realizing their market value immediately by the system in place. The NFL and the college powers have no interest in changing the status quo which serves them.

This is incorrect. A guy like Dylan Moses is probably going to make the NFL. If he needs to make money he should go play in the CFL right now. He can sign a three year contract and be eligible for the NFL draft once that has expired. He can also just not play football for three years and work a job and work out continuously. He could even go work for an NFL team as a staff member and receive coaching while getting paid. If he needs the money he needs to do this

This is true for everyone who is not working in general labor, or fast food. I had to finish college, and put 10 years in to the industry before I finally got some breaks. And I don't believe ANY 18 year old kid should be different.

If the players dont take advantage of a free education that on them. Not only that but its the schools that pay for the stage these players perform on. The schools foot the bill for games, housing,food, and some of the best medical care on the planet. Stop acting like more than 1% of cfb players have takent enough for to get paid to play football
