Message: [QUOTE="xc84, post: 974311, member: 1526"] The NCAA has no jurisdiction over when a player can try to get a pro team to play for his services. Without affiliation to a college, few would watch these players play. These players are benefiting from the affiliation people have with schools and their desire to watch "their" teams play. Without this market, there would be no place for these players to play and be compensated anywhere near their college compensation. Most would not (and currently do not) make it to the NFL. The market for a farm system just isn't there and I don't think it would be there even if colleges dropped football altogether. [/QUOTE]
