College model moving to 48 farm teams

Why do they need colleges to do this?

Why wouldn't the NFL just do this and take all the money and profits from it?

Simple...money. You got 100,000 people going to Michigan home games..you think they're pulling that for a new minor league football team?

Because 100,000 people aren't going to see their Wolverines become the junior Detroit Lions farm team. Rather than recruiting the best of the best you think they're going to take a team of draft picks and go 6-6?
