Certainly devalues north Carolina education. I don't think you can apply it broad brush.
This is the same as the "Everyone else pays players but ma'school" argument

I mean this instance is not "fair" but it's more nuanced than that. Football programs are huge revenue generators, helping to fund academics as well as entire other sports. A UIUC PHD is not cheapened by an athlete majoring in Communications in my opinion.
UNC set new levels of cheating. I don't think it's fair to say all schools cheat like UNC. Giving someone an undeserved grade bump is different than paying school employees to do the work for them.This is the same as the "Everyone else pays players but ma'school" argument
If you have an enrollment of 35-40K or more like most of the Big Ten schools do, if 200 kids are there to just get by and play sports, the percentage is so small it shouldn’t even be a talking pointI think schools going out of their way to make sure athletes succeed doesn't necessarily mean that education itself is being devalued.
Well then they should just get rid of the schools all together and make new names for their teams and do a league then. Isn't the NFL against letting them go pro at 18 because they'll die? This isn't the NBAI just don't care anymore. I don't care if the best player in the country has someone take his tests for him. The only reason he has to is because of this archaic system that we have. Any other sport he could just go be a pro at 18. Nah let's send them to "school" and pretend it's about the fight song and pride.
However these conferences end up shaking out, whatever 30-40 teams break away from the ncaa won’t have the school portion as a requirement anymore. I don’t know what it will look like but prolly the new minor leagues like I been saying.
Nah b, the nfl is against it because they don’t want to take the risk on even more draft busts. Imagine trying to project 17 year old 5 star Jared gaurantano at qb. Instead you can make the colleges take that risk and you get to scout 21 year old Jared gaurantano who obviously sucks and will never play any pro football of any kind.Well then they should just get rid of the schools all together and make new names for their teams and do a league then.

It’s more than just that but name one reason the owners or the nflpa would want high school grads eligible. There are none really. More job competition for players, harder to scout potential and more busts etc., not as nfl ready. They’d have to pay some of them and wait for them to mature. Guys that aren’t bo jackson or Adrian Peterson etc.I'm sure that's it

That's my point, it's not scouting, it is that they wouldn't be ready. They would have to pay players for at least 2-3 years without a chance of them playing unless they were freaks. Those are roster spots they don't have and money they don't want to spend. That's the reason.
I think it would be possible for those contracts to be reasonable enough to work, but I think the revenue generated for universities being lost could be rough for some schools.
I even had it in ur native language
If we can fund minor league baseball we should be able to fund minor League football.
I watch so little football I though Paw was making up names with Jared Guantanamo
You ever taken a college class with a D1 ATHOLETE? I guarantee you, even in the B1G, they didn't come to play school lol
