Quit checking me out.
Couple questions
1. What does the percentage of kids making the NFL have to do with the amount of money they bring to a university? Nice straw man
Nothing because they don't bring anything to the university. People made a big deal about Johnny Manziel jersey sales. Guess how much that actually was? Less than $50,000.
Exactly.2. Why would the NFL have interest in High School players? They have a free farm system already. Makes 0 sense to try and subvert that and spend millions on their own development.
I'm no longer sympathetic because they are already getting money that amounts to more than people with jobs in college make. They get training and facilities on top of that worth large amounts of money, free room and board, a free education(which 99% of them actually need) and don't leave college in debt.3. You are no longer sympathetic, because you are comparing them to the average. Their abilities are not easily replaceable. Unless you are going to tell me that for every Bama or Texas player there are a 100 applicants out there with similar skills. Are you going to make that claim?
As for skills, again most of them would not make it in a professional capacity. If there is such a demand for those skills and so much money involved then there would exist a place for them to go and get paid. That there isn't says it all.
College football is about the schools, not the players.
