I'm also wondering how much this could affect the NFL. As it is, baseball and basketball already draft kids out of high school, and soccer teams sign them to their "academies". Does the NFL treat kids who are getting paid as semi-pro players and draft them once they are deemed "eligible"? |

Give them everything they want, allow them to unionize, total up all the compensation, then hit em with the Tax bill and watch how quickly this all goes away.
College tuition value + healthcare value + income + room and board value + food.... It adds up quickly. Especially when only one of those puts cash in pocket. |
