like you are not familiar with the draft im not so familiar with transfers and soccer contracts and leagues. i know a limited amount from my brother being somewhat of a soccer fan (cause he plays FIFA on ps3 all the time lol)
but if the nfl were like soccer and there was no salary cap, there would be hardly any incentive for good coaches or players to want to coach in small markets and crappy locations. no offense to fans of these teams but who would want to play in minnesota?? or buffalo?? when you could play alongside the beach or in a big market (texas markets, new york, california, etc). those teams would get loaded with all the best talent unless some free spending billionaire bought one of the clubs in an undesirable location
i mean its like with baseball where theres no salary cap and the draft means very litle. the yankees just sit their and poach the best players from other ball clubs (and other teams but yankees the most). which sucks for half the league who opens every season with no chance of hope. if you give the worst teams the best players in the draft it helps balance the playin field a little bit.
the alternatives are 1) give best teams the best college players and make the seperation betwene the good and bad teams even greater or 2) have no draft and let the college players sign with whoever they want, which most would likely go to the teams that are already great.
kinda more back on topic but colleges make sooooo much merchandising money off student athletes. yes they get free education, but the monetary value of that is so little compared to the money they generate by their hard work. its not like these players can hold normal college jobs either. i think right now the issue is coming to a forefront unlike anytime previous. i dont think a stipend is a good idea. in any other business on earth you can use your hard work, talent, accomplishents to brand yourself and make money except college sports. seems unfair to me
