They don't play American Football in Canada.
What is the CFL? The Canadian Football League. Its played every year. What do you mean they don't play American football in Canada?

What the fuck are regular students trying to win? Nothing. They are there to go to school.
Players get paid, Alabama, Texas, Michigan and Ohio State would never lose another game. Why? Because they will just pay more than the other schools without batting an eye. Do you not see a problem here?
It already happens. Players like Nkemdiche for Ole Miss and many others obviously took a lot of money to go to that school. That money came from big donors that aren't officially part of the school. Now imagine this on a big scale. It would absolutely ruin college sports. People would flat out stop watching because there would be no point.
Now if you want to talk about a flat rate, like a $5,000 a year allowance, that is another conversation. I wouldn't like that because it goes from being amateur to job, but it would be a hell of a lot better than not having restrictions on who can give them money. It would turn into a minor league NFL which would suck ass.
Again, this argument has always fascinated me. Not only should they get a free education, free food, free housing, and all of the other benefits, they should get paid as well while other students shouldn't. That is what you are saying.

And yet, the rosters are filled mostly with players that come from American colleges or the NFL.That is Canadian Football, it's not the same.
You sound like you want the amateur spirit while not realizing that college sports (Basketball and American Football) are anything but amateur.
If you want a trully amateur league then your players shouldn't train at all and the team be formed by actual students and not "student athletes" like most amateur tournaments actually are. I play football 3 times per week with my friends, 2 for fun and 1 in a local tournament every saturday, the team is mostly of people that do other things than football in their life, no one trains 4-6-8hs every day nor their practice football in any way shape or form until we play. That is true amateurism. Having deals for TV sponsorship, merchandising, videogame adaptations, millionaire couches, etc etc is anything but amateur.

I never said play another sport. That wouldn't make sense. Players in other sports don't get paid either in college. I did say they could go play in Canada as pros if they want to get paid. They could go overseas and get paid as a pro. College isnt pro, its college.
Even basketball doesn't have the issue since kids can go right to the NBA (or another minor league).
You can't go to the NBA from HS anymore*, there is even talks about increasing the number of years you need to be out of HS before you can enter the draft.

Why? If you're a legal adult and are good enough I don't get why you shouldn't be allowed to play. If it's a safety issue, I don't see why that couldn't be handled by the teams on a case-by-case basis. It's not like there's an epidemic of young players getting in to the NBA at 18... So I don't get that change.
OK, so do you take away their scholarship and pay them like its a job instead? What is your solution that will keep the integrity of the game, make it to where the players that care about their education still get it, and the players that are just there to fuck off get paid.
I don't care if they choose to just license the universities without the real player likenesses. It's all about the dynasty mode for me anyway.
There were more and more high school players entering the draft. Many didn't get drafted, many got drafted early and busted because they just weren't good. It watered down the league with a bunch of high draft picks not working out because teams took risks. To restore the league, they made it mandatory to go to one year of college. That has helped, but there are still a lot of bad players going to the draft that think they are good enough, but are not. So they are thinking about making it 2 years.
High School players watering down the league is revisionist. There were more 4 year college seniors that were complete busts than high school players. The rule was put in place solely as a way for the NBA to scratch the NCAA's back, and in return get a year or two of free, unpaid player development. It has no bearing on the quality of the game.

If you think the NBA cares at all about the NCAA, you are wrong. The NBA wants money. They want LeBron's, Kobe's and Garnett's but they were getting Sebastion Telfair instead. Every once in awhile there is a player that could make the jump to the NBA and make an impact like the 3 players I mentioned. Its rare, though. If a player that stayed for 4 years of college is drafted and busts, at least there was 4 years of college film on him to get a good idea of what you were getting. With high school players there isn't much to go on because of the level of competition.
Some college basketball fans would even argue that the 1 and done rule actually hurts college basketball because it brings situations like Kentucky where they have 5 all americans in a recruiting class and they all leave after one year. Rinse and repeat. If those players could have gone to the NBA or had to stay for two years, it would make teams in college more of a team instead of a rest stop for the players.
Personally, I either want it made to where they can go straight to the NBA or a 2 year stay rule.
