I don't like it.
What I don't understand is why no one in this country is attempting to compete outside college football.
Colleges don't pay the players.
If you started a league, and you only took players that were 18-21 years of age, but you offered them MONEY, wouldn't you end up with the top young players all competing with each other?
What is stopping someone from doing this?
I get that to be credible, you'd need a lot of upfront money. You'd need to get 6-10 teams running with 40-50 players each in stadiums they could potentially fill, all on day 1. No good player wants to display his talent among a bunch of scrubs in a stadium that's only 1/3 full, if he has better options.
But there are so many wealthy people in the US who love football. Why have none of them tried this?

My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
