Yes, college football is fun to watch. But it is also absurd. This idea of 18-20 year olds attending class while performing their jobs as football players is a joke. The system NEEDS to change, and it will eventually.
Eventually NFL will change its rules to sign kids on at young ages, and grow them. They will learn the proper way, at a young age, to tackle, etc. And once the ones who don't 'make it' have fricked their professional careers through injuries, then they will go to college and not destroy the very idea of what college is supposed to represent. Which is, first and foremost, higher learning. And then these people will get actual jobs that aren't related to sports. Just like the rest of us.

This idea of 18-20 year olds attending class while performing their jobs as a football player is a joke.
so how is that system a joke?

Why? The NFL currently has a de facto minor league in CFB at no cost to them. There is no incentive for them to change that.

Iagree with this... Somewhat. The benefit of a college education would work wonders for ALL players we are talking about.
