    So are we going to give schools like Alabama a salary or talent cap?

    Schools like Texas/USC/Alabama, the ones with with unlimited funds, could run away with this thing in a hurry.

    Even with these new rules, I don't think it is going to be open season on paying kids.

    Stipends might increase. Maybe allow kids to sign deals with Nike, Reebok or whatever.

    Doubt they will be paying these kids actual salaries.

    that's probably true.. It is a lot nicer to have these colleges paying their salary, instead of them.. but I'm sure there are some players that the NFL would be licking their chops for at 18 years old.

    At this point, guys are wasting 1/3 of their careers playing for "free."

    I'm personally tired of the NFL having to prop up the NCAA by forcing their players to play there. If the NCAA is all that its fans think it is, it can stand on its own without forced labor... because the NFL won't accept them til they're 20-22.

    I never realized how poorly football recruits are mismanaged until I started watching other sports. It's a total nightmare. There are 16 year olds playing professional hockey. The NHL and other leagues do not feel the need to force-pump ALL of their recruits through the NCAA, or any other specific league (especially one that is completely unrelated)

    I agree. These kids are losing PRODUCTIVE years of their career, in which they have the means to earn a good living.. and the NFL/NCAA conspiracy is ruining that. It is the definition of a conspiracy.

    Do you really believe someone out of HS can play in the NFL? I just can't envision that at all.
