Crazy part, why would a college player come out early now unless they know they are a 1st round pick? Many of these players are making more in NIL money that they can make in their rookie contracts.
I bet you anything, eventually we will be seeing a lot of Van Wilders down to road... (7th year seniors)
I see one of two things happening here... NFL will start to allow more money for Rookie contracts OR the NCAA puts a cap on how much a player can be paid.. because at the rate we are going, I dont see it working out long term for either side.
Guess the one good thing out of it now, many players will earn their degrees instead of leaving college early.

The issue is stay in college and possibility of getting injured, out ways entering NFL for potential huge dollars?
