Not a terrible idea. But 90% of CFB players will never see an NFL contract. The bulk of the players go get a free education and move on with life after football.

The minor league would be pretty small and honestly most of the players would be getting such a small amount they'd rather go get a free education.

It's much higher than that, but yeah.

Until a minor league system happens all we can do is speculate on how big or small it would be... i know one thing, players would make more than they are now in the ncaa system and would be free to negotiate endorsement contracts with companies.
