Take off your fan hat for a second and put yourself in Stingley's shoes or the shoes of his family. The current rule might be best for CFB, for the NFL, for coaches, for GMs, and maybe even for fans. But it is not best for the people who actually face the most risk in this affair and that is the players themselves.

Would 100% not be beneficial for GMs. They would have 1st guys becoming free agents at 22 years old before they even come near their prime and risk losing them to another team.

why would I do that? As I said, I'm not a bleeding heart who needs to go solve all of these perceived "injustices".

His opportunity exists because of fans like myself. To the degree that you try to solve individual "injustices" like these at the detriment of the product that provides the opportunity in the first place, you are actually doing damage.

They have the immense opportunity that they do because of the structure of college football and the NFL. Are you really trying to solve problems of players who by definition would have 10+ year careers in the NFL for their financial benefit? At the expense of the game? Seriously?
