NFL Is Five Years Behind College?!

I could see a player making the case that not only do they want to avoid injury, but there's just not much to learn in playing the style that these schools do. If schools eventually made a move back to a more pro-style game, maybe the schools could at least argue that hey, we really will help prepare you for the next level by teaching you actual skills and concepts you will use.

Wishful thinking on my part.

I can see that. I think a better option would be to allow the NFL to have a minor league system like NHL and MLB that allows for people to join rather than be forced to go to college. Then it becomes a decision for the individual whether he would prefer to go play in college or join the minor league. This should also permit the players to get paid (albeit not nearly the amount NFL would pay) and would be the same style playcalling and rules as the NFL.
