In the not too distant future top prospects are going to quit halfway through the season after they put out enough good tape.

This makes sense to me . Don't know why they bother after November. They are risking everything for the school.

Nah, Jets are gonna stick to their guns and hope Christian Hackenburg can suddenly throw an accurate pass. Then next year, when there are actual good QB's to draft and the Jets have the 1st overall pick, they'll take a defense linemen because they haven't "given Hackenburg a chance".

Why would the NCAA (or any governing body) ever enter into an agreement to pay people who can just be like "gently caress it I'm not gonna."

If anything the ability to sit because you'll be making bank next year is a case against paying college athletes.

Theoretically that applies to the pros as well.

I assume your contract is going to wording dealing with that kind of thing.

I guess I wasn't clear in my point.

As long as college athletes can sit out games because of the money they will make next year, why would any governing body agree to put a system in place that pays them this year?

The NCAA could just put a rule in place that screws college players. Just put in a clause that if you're on scholarship you're required to play all games you're able. It's not like they have any problem exploiting them as is.

or what, they lose their scholarship? This doesn't really address the "problem" of players deciding to sit out once they think they've shown enough to be drafted.

College athletes sitting out games is, in my opinion, something you can't really make a rule against because there's no way to enforce it.

And to be honest I think there's more arguments for a draft prospect sitting out than for them playing.

The vast majority of them don't have that option. Maybe 20 or 30 superstars a year could get away with it. The rest of them, the ones who deserve a paycheck because they're loving up their bodies with zero future beyond "Wichita Car Salesman of the Year", will still play for the same reasons they've always played: pride and love of the game. And a paycheck. Because those billions shouldn't all go to line some other cocksucker's pockets. That would be unamerican.

My point is paying the players effectively makes them pros so the issue would disappear especially with the rookie pay scale in place.

Yep and it's gonna suck for the evaluation process. I hope they don't do something really stupid and push back the 3 year rule to 2 or 1 and end up with 19 year olds getting legitimately murdered by a linebacker.

Players owe percentage back to the school for each game they decide to sit. Toss in some contractual paper work. Welcome to american the country where you can be forced into legally binding arbitration for literally anything long as there's a clause baked into the paperwork to ensure payment is forced. There'd never be enough backlash against the NCAA to stop it.

Something I could see the NFL being amenable to doing as well.

What percent should they pay back that would actually make a difference to a guy deciding to sit because he is looking down the barrel of several million?

Eh I can't see owners agreeing to a policy that might result in them having to bench their highly touted draft pick for half a season

I could see them instituting some kind of payscale decrease where you're bound to the payscale for a pick like 10-20 below where you were actually taken if you're a first rounder? Or maybe you get stuck on a team for an extra season before getting to FA

I don't know, spitballing

McCaffrey and Fournette sat out lovely bowls because they're RBs (devalued in draft, and short careers) with lots of game tape already.

their example won't spread wide because other players will want to improve their draft stock and/or their teams will have more on the line.

They were also both injured on and off throughout the year, so it's not like two perfectly healthy dudes who decided to sit on the bench and watch. That extra month of time to get healthy is a big deal.
