They really should let folks skip the ‘school’ charade if the athlete wishes like the NBA’s G League (or go straight pro). Some use it for the education, & that scholarship can be great for those without the means otherwise, but a lot of college sports is just a cash grab for universities on the talent & training of its athletes (thankful NIL actually happened for those kids). The halfback market would see the greatest benefit to this too as they are seen as worn tire treads by the age of 24 wasting a lot of the positions most valuable years in college where they are not getting anywhere near the pay they’d see in the NFL as they are just used for their cheap rookie contract, franchise tagged, then often tossed in the trash (see: Jonathon Taylor, Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs, et al.).
