The ncaa should provide draft eligible juniors insurance. Easy for the bowl. Not that hard for a senior year. This has been done before. Scale the benefit based on projected round and average guarantee.

Players would still skip bowl games even if they had insurance. Fournette had a $20MM policy and still sat out. Greedy had the opportunity to get a policy and decided against it.

While a good idea, it’s not only the money. The game, prestige etc of playing the NFL is part of it.

I love that Devin is playing but I’m also worried for him.
