NFL to present formal proposals for a developmental league in 2017
Troy Vincent, the NFL's head of football operations, said his department is prepared to make recommendations for a developmental league or in-season academy after years studying the matter. The league will begin the formal process of meeting with the Competition Committee, coaches and NFLPA after the season. Vincent has long been among those staunchly supporting the need for additional practice and/or games for young NFL players, and also as a means to further develop coaches and referees.
It has been more than a decade since any sort of discussion regarding a developmental league was held at the Competition Committee level, committee co-chair Rich McKay told me at the last spring meeting. But with the support of numerous owners and prominent coaches the issue has gained significant momentum this year.
Vincent also has done exhaustive studies of creating an in-season academy that would train a valuable talent base -- players not under contract who get workouts and jobs through the season -- that would run from final cuts until November.

Nobody is gonna get their brains bashed in for $30k/year, football is a tough game to prepare for and honestly without the lure of money I don't know what would get adults wanting to play. For college kids, scholarships are well worth it. People who play for the love of the game when they're adults risking brain injuries for no money are just dumb

Look at how many dudes go play basketball in shitty third world countries. Most of these dudes don't fit in with regular society after their sports careers are over with.

John Harbaugh:
The owners caring more about their bottom line than the quality of the on field product.
I really hope this goes through. Abolish the 3 year requirement along with this, so you can instantly get that young talent that does not care about college. Start training the QBs to win in the NFL, not NCAA.

There must be some factors that are keeping it from going in that direction, because I've never heard anybody say they don't want to do it

Selfishly, I would hope that never happens. It would kill CFB.

Plenty of guys with no future would do this.

I love college ball way more than NFL. In my view, the talented high school kids that can not go straight to NFL are what is killing the NCAA. They don't care about college, they pick whatever school has the best bag men.

It will never happen. You can't have 18 year olds stepping on to an NFL field, some would get killed

Goodbye to college football as we know it.
