The NFL and NFLPA should be embarrassed about their real motives for this fight. The NFL is not fighting this issue because they want whats best for young adults and their education.
The claim by the NFL in court that the league will ruined is a bunch of crap as well.
The NFL's entire fight is made to please their free farm system - the NCAA. The NFL does not want it's coaches and scouts locked out of campuses across America for stealing to many players.
The NCAA is the biggest joke of all. Their precious amateur status for the players so the NCAA and schools can collect millions/billions off the football players backs. Not even a stipend is allowed for underprivileged college players who can not even afford to stay in school. IF this is all about education,why does the NCAA strip a player of his remaining eligibility if they get an agent or if they tryout for the NFL and fail?
This is all about business and money. Keeping the NCAA happy so this ridiculous merry go round system will continue and the powerful (NFL , NFL owners and NCAA) can continue collecting their huge billion dollar pay checks.
The biggest embarrasemnt for the NFL is the league does not trust its individual teams not to draft NFL ready players. Nobody is holding a gun and forcing the NFL teams to draft these young players. USC WR Mike(?) Williams is getting screwed in this whole thing because he gave up his elegiblity because a court told him he was elegible for the NFL.
