The nhl nba and mlb all have minor leagues and every one of those sports are played at the college level. It’s nothing like a minor league. The teams have no control over any of the college players. Minor league would mean the teams have control and rights over players. It absolutely can happen in the NFL and someday it will. The first one of these leagues that figures out it needs the NFL affiliation, will be the one that will succeed. I consider the NCAA a minor league for the NFL for sure. You can take college baseball, hockey, and basketball together down eaul half of what the college football makes. All those sports you have a lot of players that start playing in the league at 18, you dont have that in football. Well every single "junior" league except for the AFL has always failed. USFL, WFL, XFL all bombed. AFL worked largely because there were a lot of cities still not covered by the NFL. Now pretty much every major metropolitan area that can sustain and NFL franchise has a team. I dont see the NFL risking any serious money to generate a minor league.

Think of how much better they'd be as rookies if they're paid in a developmental league where the only focus is preparing for the NFL. Let kids who want to play football whilst pursuing a degree go to college. Let kids who just want to get to the NFL get paid to prepare in a development league. The vast majority of the draftable NCAA players' only focus IS preparing for the NFL. The latter group will be a handful of hopefuls, that's it. The current system wrks perfectly. This is a solution in search of a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every pissed off veteran could never watch, or attend, another NFL game and the NFL wouldn't even notice, feel it, or care. They're still getting those advertising dollars. Bully for them. I'm doing what I feel is right and that's all I can control. On 11/28/2018 at 2:48 PM, Gugny said: I'm sorry, but you're making no sense. By boycotting the big box stores, supporting local mom and pops is EXACTLY what one would do. You're boycotting the NFL, but still watching the Bills. That's just not how boycotts work. Because every time you watch a Bills game, you're feeding the NFL piggy bank. I don't really give a rat's ass if you think what I'm doing makes sense. I'm doing what I consider to be right and that's all I can control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to engage in selective boycotting measures, by all means, have at it. Those are the kinds of freedoms vets fought for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
