> Your proposal is to force the NFL to draft players out of high school?
Force? No. I have no idea where you've conjured that.
> More importantly, even if players could be recruited out of high school as in basketball, it doesn't solve the problem, and we know this because it hasn't solved the problem for basketball.
Well that's because basketball still has a similar rule. You must be out of high school one year. It's the same disingenuous nod toward academics and amateurism. The NBA had this solved before one-and-done was (re)instituted.
> The second tier players will still play in college, where all the non-athletes involved with the NCAA will still make bank, and the athletes will still stay broke.
I don't think you read what I wrote. I proposed that by eliminating his rule the NFL would likely go back to having a developmental league where kids could either get drafted out of high school or go to college, depending on their goals.
