    You can’t play college football forever.

    Not sure how they will do it. Maybe college football is a 23 and under game?

    No one wants Diego playing into his 30s.

    "Players are playing college ball longer! We'll get to root for our favorite players for more years!"

    "Uh, they're only playing for YOUR team for 1-2 years."

    You have a lot of tournaments that are Monday-Tuesday or Monday-Wednesday, mostly because that's when clubs have the most availability to host. Tack on travel days and practice-round days, and that adds up quickly.

    Pretty sure Diego does. Better pay doing this than being a St. Louis Battlehawk.

    The courts are sending a message: If you have gotten everything you thought you could ever want but just discovered something else you'd like to have, go ahead and sue. No case? No problem. You, dear Player, have the right to unlimited financial compensation, perpetual eligibility, complete freedom to quit and move around and -- apparently -- no academic requirements.

    I might be wrong, but I don’t see this being a big issue, especially in the two money sports. How many coaches want a 27 yo taking up a roster spot that could go to an 18 yo? Just because you’re eligible doesn’t mean you’re entitled to be on a roster.

    Golf. The tournaments consume the entirety of at least two weekdays. And there are a lot of tournaments in the spring.

    Why not? They're more physically developed, ostensibly more mature, and the idea that you're gonna get four years out of the 18-year-old is gone anyway.
