I think this is a bit of a leap. I see where you're coming from and it's a definite possibility but that's so many steps removed from the current system that it's not worth worrying about. If/when someone tries to set up a minor league then we can worry about it.

I agree that it isn't worth worrying about at the moment, but if you set up a minor league you're developing players for your own league. We can pretty much assume that, say, flexbone quarterbacks won't be in demand. Like, it just seems like it would obviously be true if we ever end up there.

I can't pretend I know a ton about it but I think in hockey it doesn't necessarily mean what you're saying, somehow or other the team that drafts you retains your rights while you go to college without any money changing hands I think. There are plenty of decent players in the NHL who played college hockey at the least.
