I know— but since the NCAA has its fingers in everything else regarding compliance, it wouldn’t be that hard to proctor all at the Div I and II levels, and it would put an end to these morons using college and they can’t read or write. It would of course, spark a new minor league system to feed the NFL, but for academic integrity, it is worth it.

The death of the XFL eliminated the possibility of a minor league for the NFL.

NBA's trying to turn their G League into a minor league with the creation of a team consisting of elite 18 YOs. I have my doubts as to what success they'll have. NBA is just beginning to feel the pain from the loss of revenue from China. Compound that with fewer games from Covid, and the league won't be as flush with cash to blow on the G League and the WNBA.

A bit O/T, but I suspect Covid will negatively impact future network contracts for the NFL and other pro sports. Companies are sure to cut back on their advertising budgets, as they navigate their way out of the Covid economy.

My advice to Dak Prescott would be to take the 5 year contract from the Cowboys, as the salary cap will likely remain the same for at least the next couple of years.
