Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 5076431, member: 127"] Is that college’s fault? They get free training, free coaching, trainers, use of facilities just for them, uniforms, gear, besides free room and board, free food just for them, free tutoring, free tuition, free transportation to and from games. Isn’t it the NFL’s fault for using colleges to do their work for them? If they could make money off developing them, they would do it. It’s a losing proposition for them. Why shouldn’t the NBA, NFL who use colleges to develop their teams, subsidize them? Colleges save the NFL (and NBA) millions if not billions of $ developing their players. College play is how the NFL skim the top players for their rosters. There’s a reason that they don’t have developmental leagues to fill their rosters, the cost to them, because that is done for them by colleges and their fans. [/QUOTE]
