Or just make them fulfill their military commitment first. If you join the military to become an NFL star you have your head screwed on the wrong way. Just my unpopular opinion. I hate the way the NFL tries to rule the world sometimes.

Well if they do this first, they may not have the ability to make the team after the 2 years. I would put stipulations stating that any trouble viods the contract and they go straight to active duty. 18,000 a year compared to 400K a year is a big difference. Or just release them from the obligation and make them pay back the tuition.
