Just as some of you predicted, eligibility requirements now the target. Every restriction on playing college football is being attacked. There’s only one path and it’s decoupling from the university system and into a pro league with a union and a bargained contract.
 
what if they did like baseball and hockey? You could be drafted out of high school but still play at the college level until you are ready to go pro? With that scenario players sometimes leave before they graduate. Or just do as lax suggested and be done with it.

Seems like a good idea.

Baseball has a great system in place. That should definitely be the model for all NCAA/Pro relationships.

I think the issue is you have billions made off of athletes in cfb and to an extent bball. There's not a path forward that doesn't split the money up.
I like the idea but the money still has to flow to the players somehow.

The NFL however has no incentive to play along with that sort of system currently. The colleges , especially the power conferences, are already training their draftees without cost to the pros.

That Pavia lawsuit got me thinking, if he's challening a specific restriction on eligibility limits now, what's to say in a few years players don't challenge elgibilty limites overall. And then if schools are paying them, starts to feel a lot like a pro league! Imagine a tenth year player, in the final year of his $10 Million deal with University of Alabama :)

It’s not hard to imagine. Many have been predicting this. I think, based on the basis of the argument, it could put all eligibility requirements in jeopardy. I think even going to school could be on the line.
 
College football, or whatever it turns into, would be awesome with a promotion-relegation system.

Rank the conferences, play a season, top two teams in each conference move up, bottom two teams in each conference move down.

Takes the TV market bullshit out of the equation. All you have to do is win and you continue to move up. The sky is the limit.
