They'd have to compete with CFL and AAF. How did the AAF do? How much did they pay people? The fact that they need to be non-professionals, enrolled at college at a certain age and only can play 4 years limits the competition they face. Almost all HS football players not opting for college would need to crack the AAF or CFL (maybe NFL for a handful). Very few are even that good. Be careful what you wish for. The college system is a pretty good deal for most of these guys. I have met CEOs and a lot of successful people who played college football. Met a law firm partner a few months back who played at Trinity. So you squash the college sports model and you just removed a lot of underprivileged kids from college education. [/QUOTE]
