One of the biggest problem with college sports is PRO sports.

Talented young kids get big ole dollar signs in their eyes because everyone they know tells em they're gonna get rich in the show.
They don't care about getting an edumacation, they care about becoming a gazillionaire and getting paid millions to do Nike commercials.
it doesn't help that allot of them come from poor backgrounds and are surrounded by leeches hoping to get some of that future money.

How about if they made these rules:
any college player that gets busted for NCAA rules violations regarding recruitment, agents, financial transactions or promises, is INELIGIBLE to pay professional baseball, football, or basketball for a minimum of 7 years after GRADUATION. Sorry Reggie Bush, it's retroactive. You gotta sit for 7 years.

All players hired to play professional baseball, football, or basketball would have to be graduates from an accredited university (4 year degree), AND would have to pass a compentency test administered by an unbiased third party that would represent minimum college skill levels.

If they can't read or write they can't play pro ball.
If they cheat they can't play pro ball.
If they don't graduate they can't play pro ball.

The world needs ditch digger too Danny.

It'd clean up college sports and it's do a heck of a lot to improve the class of pro sports.

Of course if anyone really tried to do that they'd probably be called a racist.
