The NFL has always been able to change their rules to suit their needs. The NFL players have collectively bargained for the three year rule. And your answer, rather than remove compensation restrictions for college athletes, is to force the NFL players and owners to change their rules?

Why does it matter that some will be better off but most won’t? Even assuming that’s true, which I doubt it is, a system of artificial restraint which is then partially filled by black market compensation hardly seems the better alternative. But, maybe the whole thing burns itself up, and we go back to some form of the current system in 20 or 30 years. Seems a worthwhile risk compared to watching schools taking advantage of free labor to sign $10m contracts for mediocre coaches.

You probably don’t think Brian Kelly is a $10m coach, but he is according to LSU. So that should guide your thinking when you say “I don’t think most college players are worth that much”
