[QUOTE="TownesVanZandt_rivals, post: 131308106, member: 1606648"] College football is a vehicle for upward mobility. Just matters how you use it. No reason to shut these doors. Not all of these players are going to play professionally. The ones who don't leave with a degree and at most schools leave with a lifetime supply of connections. Very similar to colleges itself.

How many former WVU football players are working and making 100K a year? How many of these wouldn't have had that chance without college football? Let's be real here. Just matters how the players use it and more importantly the universities. The problem comes not with the universities but the recruits. What do these kids value?. Is it the NFL or bust. You can't force every college football player into taking education serious. But if just one player who enters WVU that wouldn't had the chance without football and leaves WVU with a degree the school has done its job. Especially if that player becomes someone after football.
