&gt; Your proposal is to force the NFL to draft players out of high school?<p>Force?  No.  I have no idea where you&#x27;ve conjured that.<p>&gt; More importantly, even if players could be recruited out of high school as in basketball, it doesn&#x27;t solve the problem, and we know this because it hasn&#x27;t solved the problem for basketball.<p>Well that&#x27;s because basketball still has a similar rule.  You must be out of high school one year.  It&#x27;s the same disingenuous nod toward academics and amateurism.  The NBA <i>had</i> this solved before one-and-done was (re)instituted.<p>&gt; The second tier players will still play in college, where all the non-athletes involved with the NCAA will still make bank, and the athletes will still stay broke.<p>I don&#x27;t think you read what I wrote.  I proposed that by eliminating his rule the NFL would likely go back to having a developmental league where kids could either get drafted out of high school or go to college, depending on their goals.
