College Football is the NFL only the players don’t get paid.

@Viper Fair enough. He may be a liar, but he’s [i]our[/i] liar. In a corrupt system, there’s no honor among thieves.

@Bumbles He's certainly not my liar lol

And I try not to make acceptions for negativites just because they help me, in fact, you just blew your entire argument about the NCAA as they used the same horrible logic.

This is horrible system, but it's our traditional horrible system that benefits us, so we're keeping everything as it is. Same as your defense of Jim Harbaugh.

@Viper I freely admit my hypocrisy. No justification for it whatever.

Oh, and Go Blue!

@dale74 I don’t think the comparison negates the lack of pay for college players, though.

@Bumbles well if i have a kid and they is good enough for college i would have them going out for major sports at the recruiting camps. If they get it they can gos to college later.

@dale74 Sounds like a good plan.

@Pretzel Yes, that has value, let’s say about 50k a year. By comparison the minimum salary of first year NFL player is $750,000. That goes up to $940,000 by year three.

Also the education these kids are actually getting is usually sub par.

@Crazywaterspring Probably! Depends on the school, but big footballs programs support all of the other sports.

@MethDozer Indeed, the TV contracts are enormous as are the salaries of many of the Head Coaches, which are in the millions.

@Darksideinthenight2 Yes, top players only, which is great for them.
