The current college football setup would be for the other kids who would rather forego the NFL minor league and play college football under scholarship.

It would be a lot like the current college baseball setup.

Exactly my thoughts.

Let the Cam Newtons and OJ Mayos of the world go pro or semi pro right away and instead use those scholarships for guys who really want a degree they can use once they graduate.

That way most schools would run clean programs and cheating would be minimized. When was the last time a baseball program got on probation by the NCAA? I'm sure there's been some but few compared to football and basketball.

Then less people would pay attention, the Networks make less money and then they pay the Universities less.

Yeah, good luck with this idealistic campaign you guys.
