re: Players shouldn't be able to leave early.

I really think it would address a lot of issues if the league made a 4-year college degree and SENIOR classification mandatory in order to be draft eligible.

Which issues?

They are making the same choice many kids make every year --- to leave college early to earn a living. Many that do that are on scholarship. Should a student have to stay in school 4 years on an academic scholarship? What about a scholarship or grant to a particular department? Does this also apply to players that leave the program to transfer to other schools or because they are leaving the sport or only to those good enough to play in the NFL (and thus are the most likely to help the team by staying)?
