It still aggravates me to death, what college football has become.
What would have Tim Tebow made at Florida in college only to flop in the NFL? Pat White?
My point is, they are getting paid far too much. We need salary caps (if this is the way it's going to be) contracts and a Commissioner. It needs to be as equal as possible for all teams.
The power houses (Ohio State, Alabama, Texas...etc) shouldn't be able to step in and take a lower team’s QB for millions because the lower team can't afford it. One day, people are going to get tired of seeing the Big 10 or the SEC win it every year, because they have all of the money (except for their fans)
In the NFL, the minimum salary for a player on the active roster is $750,000 for rookies, $870,000 for players with one year of experience, $940,000 for players in their third season, $1,010,000 for players in their fourth season, $1,080,000 for players with four to six years of experience, and $1,650,000 for players with at least seven seasons of experience.
And those NFL players are THE BEST of college players, Sitting on the bench or playing.
At least have salary caps. A free education is a good start. Plus a $100,000 cap is plenty. Would easily cover insurance for these teenagers and around 20-year-olds.
Even better, include contracts.
Even better, on top of those, include transportal timing in the spring only and no chance of entering if you're under contract, unless there is a major coaching change, or the school agrees to let you out.
Just something to stop the madness that is killing College Football for a LOT of fans.
