I don't have a problem with that except a sport is a sport is a sport. Obviously, the NFL is competing with the NCAA to see who has the most power. As far I am concerned, if my six year old good enough to play with the big boys, so be it. But, like I said, I would prefer that they all be required to get a college education. But even then, that doesn't guarantee that they won't be a burden on society & we taxpayers will still have to pay for their upkeep while they're in prison.
