And this is exactly why I will never get behind the idea of college football. Just stop pretending that the NCAA is anything other than minor league football (at least at the big schools). Stop pretending like these are student-athletes whose first priority is to get an education. These schools make bazillions of dollars off of these players and the players don't see a penny of it. The NCAA isn't "protecting" them, it's just trying to hold on to all the power that it can.
Here's an idea: pay the players. Put a salary cap in college football and offer the best players money to come to your school. You want the best QB in the class, then do whatever it takes to get him. Seriously, is this not how real life works? This would also put an end to the absolutely ridiculous guidelines regarding recruiting. Coaches can only send 500 texts per month, or players can't Tweet about their college decision. Give me a break. Reggie Bush was the best football player in 2005 and he proved it by getting with Kim Kardashian. You can take away his Heisman, but really you're just reminding everyone how dumb the NCAA really is.
P.S. I appreciate everyone who reads the blog, but if you could also Follow it that would be helpful. I have big plans and need all the official followers I can get.
