Already reduced to playing the race card in your argument? There is already a place for athletes to get paid for their talents. It's called professional football, baseball, basketball, etc. Let them forego college and go straight to the money. I could give a shite. That colleges provide another avenue to showcase their skills and actually enhance their chances at making more money is a positive, not a negative. That colleges offer a chance to get a valuable education that can set someone up for their entire life even if they are unable to get one of those huge professional contracts is a positive. Nobody is forcing anyone to play college football. If they don't like the setup, don't go to college.

Just don't assume that eating into the profit margins of major college football means that colleges will continue the sport. THEY built it and THEY own it and THEY have complete control over whether or not THEY see it as worth THEIR time and money. Your proposal isn't about THEM. That's where it fails. THEY are more important than the athletes. THEY are the golden goose. Keep stabbing it. It all goes away.
