No...thread that got deleted where King Crimson informed us about it being open season on whitey, and the burden we have of taking care of 8 out of 10 black babies.
Ah, ok, I missed that thread thankfully. I'm all for shaming knuckle-draggers.

And college sports will be no more.
A little dramatic don't you think?
The NFL currently uses the NCAA and its "student" athletes for free. They pay nothing. Why shouldn't they form a minor leagues just like MLB has? Did minor league baseball kill college baseball? Hell no it didn't. High school and college football players should have the same choices as high school baseball players.

Give them a stipend....if money is accepted from outside source it should be a quick dismissal and he pay back scholarship and all stipend awarded

Just let the athletes get whatever money they can. If someone wants to give an 18 year old $200k, who are we to tell him no?
I agree, I don't see what the harm is... So what if Manziel makes a few bucks off a bunch of autographed jizz jars or if some agent tries to recruit a big name player? As long as the Universities themselves aren't paying the players, I don't see why they still couldn't be regarded as amateurs
I don't disagree with this at all. In fact, it would help to break up the monopoly of the powers of college football and basketball. Take SMU for example. They were never a football power until their boosters made them one. Letting boosters buy players will make for a much more competitive stage, and give teams that were doormats a chance to compete. It might even become more lucrative for players than the NFL. No more leaving school early when they can make more money staying in college.

Great - just let that 18 year old go play in the AFL or CFL as a professional. If they earn oney, they are not an amateur student-athlete. Their choice.
Does the AFL or CFL have the same rules as the NFL? If they do, they really can't go play for them and they have to go to college. If you remove the rules about paying players, it fixes the problem.

The only reason those rules exist anyway is the greed of the institutions. If boosters are given free reign, the universities can still make their dough and the players can profit too. Win Win.

Maybe disassociating this level of football from universities all together is a better option.
Amen! Damm smart Bama fans actually exist!

Strawman, no one watches minor leagues.
If college football simply become a NFL minor league, no one will watch it and the NFL will do what it can to squash its competition.

Just let the NFL teams pay all the college tuition, room and board, meals, insurance to the universities if they want to buy the players.
