One thing cool about college

that is unlike high school, preschool or even the NFL. And that is that YOU get to pick where you go. This is also the case for athletes. Now choices are often limited by reality (scholarship offers, budget, academic acceptance, etc.). But still. BTW, the way the draft is done in the NFL and NBA is anti-competitive and reward failure. Tanking anyone? There are enough established college football programs in America that you could go to a legit relegation and promotion system with many tiers. Would be much better than a franchise style draft for NCAAF if it were even possible.

I don't think the supreme Court will take that up. It doesn't
