However, I will add that the NFL should do more to protect the athletes. The players should have money for future returns to college built into their contracts. It could be an NFL-run trust for post-football education. A lot of MLB contracts have something like this.
Ok...that protects the kids that got drafted and signed a contract.....but what about those that went undrafted? Do you realize that almost 40% of underclassmen that declared last year didn't get drafted, and very few actually made a team?

That's on them. I think the early combine thing would help weed some of those out, but some kids are just going to make bad decisions. You will never stop some people from making bad decisions, and taking away the negative impacts of their bad decisions will only make others more willing to make bad decisions.
I have friends that dropped out of school to make money waiting tables. Now they're stuck waiting tables. It is not the school's responsibility to undo their bad decisions.
