[QUOTE="CountryFrog, post: 2768792, member: 70667"] I agree that 18 year olds shouldn't be in the NFL but regardless of rules do we really think there would be a mass influx of HS kids declaring themselves eligible for the draft? On the other hand there are absolutely guys who are ready for the NFL after a year or twoof college. Trevor Lawrence probably would've been the #1 pick last year of eligible. As far as being walking billboards, the players get to choose which school they go to so one would assume they're good with the gear being freely given to them once they make that choice. If you don't like Nike then don't go to a Nike school. Just like if you don't like the cold then don't go to the Big 10. Look, I'd love for the players to get more money. I'd love for the workers in pretty much every industry to get more money. I'm pro higher salaries for everybody. But there is a line in every industry where you start paying workers too much and it becomes a detriment to the overall company. This CA bill by itself doesn't cross that line, but it would be a bit naive imo to think that if this ends up happening that this is where it will all stop. If the name and likeness stuff starts happening then good for the kids, but it will likely start a ball rolling down a hill that imo will eventually become a detriment to the entirety of college sports including the athletes.
