Personally, I think baseball does it the best of the big sports (hockey too). They have an extensive minor league system, with pay, for those young men with talent who either finished college or prefer not to go to school. Thus the college level is not as fraught with money-grubbing and exploitation. Of course, people expect now a very high exciting level of collegiate football and basketball, so nobody is really trying to change this.

Yeah you're right. I think that shows the diffrence in the 2 sports. Baseball I think takes maturing, more time to learn. Ya know? Where as football players can be washed up by the time they are 29 or 30. Alot of baseball players don't come into their own until their middle to late 20's.
