Major issue kids out of high school won't be ready for the NFL.  Soke young adults would get hurt by the speed, size, speed, and strength by NFL players. The 18 to 20 year old kids really need a few years bulking up and getting coached up before trying to playmin the NFL.  I know there are exceptions,  but overall most kids out of high school would get embarrassed by NFL players.

This is evident just looking at basketball... the fourth- and fifth- year players on a team like Oakland manhandled the more talented, but significantly younger, players at Kentucky.  Sure, the talent difference was remarkable... but when the game gets more phyiscal, that difference can be mitigated.

A lot of people like to compare the top college teams with bottom NFL teams... "Alabama could beat ..." this year it's U Conn could beat some NBA teams.  No.  No they could not... 18-22 year olds could not beat teams that are just as talented but 8 to 10 years older, stronger, and more experienced.

Consider how many rookies go from college to starting their first game and succeed.  For every CJ Stroud there's plenty of Ryan Leafs... and there is even more disparity for the late rounders.

Eventually all of this greed will decimate the national fanbase.  The more exclusive they make the national championship process, the less fans they will have.  I am a USF fan, and I'm not going to pi

Everyone involved in managing our pathetic program over the past 10 years should be fired out of a cannon into the bay.

An 0-16 NFL team would beat the college national champion from the same season like 60-10 lol.

Even the best college teams only send a small portion of their roster to the pros, where the pro team is full of guys who were stars in college. The backups on the pros were stars in college.

 It would be like watching a UFC fight between Shaquille o Neale and Danny De Vitto. It would be one-sided, but it would be entertaining.

LOL!  

Here is an article about NU:  https://omaha.com/news/state-regional/education/cutting-programs-merging-campuses-nebraska-university-leaders-ponder-bold-changes-to-compete/article_35dabe3a-f435-11ee-bb4b-5360b0e1ccb1.html

Here's something interesting from the article:  The University of South Florida in 2020 consolidated its three separate campuses into a much larger, singularly accredited university. Three years later, USF was invited to join the AAU.

Very well articulated.  I couldn't agree more.  The best teams competing for championships have experienced talent and that seems to be even more prevalent with the transfer portal.  While our talent may get raided, I am hopeful our sports teams can use the portal in a beneficial way.

All the more reason to extend eligibility in the NCAA. They could cut into profits of both the NFL and NBA.
