I don't have a problem with a player leaving early if he receives a high round grade from the NFL. What baffles me is why are the players leaving when they receive a stay in school grade? I realize they may be drafted but it will be at a low round. Or they could not be drafted at all. Another year could greatly benefit them. More money in the long term vs. little money in the short term
The new CBA with it's rookie pay scale is a big part of the problem. It doesn't make economic sense to come back if you can make a roster.

Have you ever been poor? Not a bash, I'm just curious. I have been, and it sucks.

I've seldom thought about the same thing. Since Barry Sanders drew the line back in 1989 (he did this because he lost his coach and OSU was being put on probation) There were 38 underclassmen who declared the following year. That number dropped significantly the following few years. More info here: LINK
Although people didn't foresee it as becoming a problem, those numbers would rise to avg around 50 a year around the turn of the millennium. The number rose to a "then record" 74 underclassmen in 2013.. That record was obliterated the following year with 98 underclassmen in 2014. Now people are viewing it as a problem.
You may want to read this, too. Several of these things have been discussed in this thread already.
