this has been the 'no-brainer" solution for years, i.e., for the NFL and NBA to offer kids the same option that baseball players have, i.e., go to college or go sign a contract to play professionally...in the minor leagues.

it's been so obvious for years that we all know the reason it hasn't happened. Now sit back and watch the hypocritical "educators" debate this. They have gotten too comfortable with the revenue that semi-pro college football and basketball programs are producing
