-Which division do you think this could affect the most? The Pacific Pro Football League will have to become extraordinarily popular for the league to have any impact on the three NCAA divisions. If that popularity becomes a reality, I believe that this league will affect Division I schools more than the others. If a high school athlete is good enough to play at the Division I level, they are certainly going to be able to play at the professional level for the Pacific Pro Football league. High school athletes will be drawn to the fact that they can foster their talents and skills with this league for a salary, rather than competing at the college level for an education.

I know that these four years at Tennessee will only help me get better on the course, so that I am better prepared for when I turn professional. I was lucky enough to have the option to turn professional, but I decided that wasn’t the best option for me. For football, they do not have the option to play professionally right out of high school like I did, football players must go to college if they want to make it in the NFL (NFL). This idea of a professional league for young football players not only gives players more freedom in their path to the NFL, but allows them to start using their talents for payment earlier so that they can support themselves and their family. That is usually the motive for athletes turning professional earlier rather than later. Athletes want to start making money, and in the NCAA athletes cannot receive payment or any “extra benefits” or they will be ineligible. If the NCAA doesn’t want to lose athletes to professional leagues such as the Pacific Pro Football league, the answer isn’t to start paying college athletes salary, but to consider deregulating the lives of student-athletes. Give the student-athlete the right to their name and likeness (NCAA), and give them the right to accept free meals or merchandise when a stranger or a donor is being generous (NCAA). Paying student athletes will never be a solution to any problem; it creates more inequality within college athletics because some athletes will be paid
