(which more and more seem like under the table deals between the NCAA and major sports). If athletes dont feel they need to go to college to get paid they wont. This will allow the NCAA to hold to its ideals, kill the arms race of college athletics, and restore some sanity and balance to the whole thing. If schools want to offer athletic scholarships they can. Heck if a school wants to offer a player who played professionally and has retired and wants to come back and get an education im fine with that.

Enforcing this idea that a kid has to go to college before they go pro has led us to where we are.
