Fuzzy bears!
Why should they have to skip college? Why can't colleges simply pay their student athletes if those athletes are bringing a bunch of revenue to the school?
If you are going to pay, then why go to college. You can make more in the pros, then you would have millions to go to college later. Just skip the college and make the big money.
The vast majority of college athletes do not go pro. There is a limited amount of space in the professional leagues.
That's not even the point, though. Some colleges make a lot of money off of their athletes. Why shouldn't those athletes get paid if they are going to bring in so much revenue?
I have no issue with it, I think they shouldn’t be forced to play college before they can go pro, it’s not fair to limit a person’s income. So, pay them for college but allow the good players to go pro out of the gate.
I think that is about the NFL, rather than colleges. The NFL has rules about how young players can enter the league.
Could be, I’m not sure either.
I looked it up. Non-college players must wait 4 years after graduating high school (or the class they entered high school with graduates), college players have a few different possible scenarios for eligibility.
