And I read a lot of political stuff so that’s saying something. Full disclosure: I read up to the first “continue” button. While I don’t dispute that the college game is the de facto farm league for the NFL, so what? It’s a product that stands by itself, existed long before the NFL, and would exist if the NFL disappeared tomorrow. This is just another lame attempt at the pay for play argument with a new twist of hinting the NFL should foot the bill. The political activist mascaradiing as a sports writer gives up the ghost when he talks about the “outdated notion of amateurism”. Sorry but the vast majority of the players on nearly every team will NEVER EVER play 1 practice snap in the NFL so the paid for education seems to have an inordinate amount of value to them that’s being discounted.
