i know no one forces them to, but just like the electorate in america, the system is set up so that, especially for football, the only way to make it in a professional league is to go thru the ncaa.
brandon jennings is one of the first to bypass the ncaa in the sport of basketball, and i applaud him for it. hopefully it will work, and more and more athletes will realize they dont need the farce of the one-and-done rule and can make a living right out of high school.
again, you're right. no one told these athletes to go to college.but their other options, as you state, like the cfl, or playing overseas is not a way to get into the nfl. its much more difficult to play pro football here in the states than in other countries, since we are the ultimate. thats why the ncaa system is flawed-it relies on talent staying local.
hopefully brandon jennings will do well and prove the ncaa isn't necessary(at least for bball)
