Plus, one year making 50k, working with professionals and then making millions after that year >>> 1-3 years of someone making $$$ off my name, not being allowed to make $, going to class ect...

The only reason to do this would just be for the principle, but this is not going to make you more money.


:dwillhuh: if Andrew Wiggins and Jadaveon Clowney was in the DLeague/CFL trust dem nikkas would be on TV

:heh: You really believe that.

i see cfl games on nbc sports network, i dont know how many people got that channel tho

Just about everyone gets NBCSN.

spin from the thread should college players profit off their name
lets say andrew wiggins aint wanna go to college, do you think he should/would go to the DLeague
or Jadaveon Clowney going to the CFL until his eligibility is fulfilled
they could sign with agents,sponsors,make money independently without goin to college and wasting a free scholarship
at the same time if a dude go to college, he should have to stay atleast 2 years for NBA and 3 years for NFL
would yall think that solve the problem?
Football is unlike baseball and hockey where guys have options. In baseball, you can play in the minor leagues/farm teams and still be seen as an MLB prospect. You can move from single-A, to double-A, to triple-A and have some visibility in the eyes of MLB teams/GMs/scouts. In hockey, you can play in junior hockey/semi-pro and still be seen as a possible NHL prospect. In football, if you go to the CFL, it's like the Bermuda Triangle of football. Ain't nobody got time to look at your CFL stats when they are looking at a variety of high-profile collegiate players.

true but if it was known and practiced(players goin to CFL) people would most def pay attention to it

look at Cam Wake from the dolphins, came outta nowhere from the CFL

imagine sombody with some hype goin to CFL and actually making some noise people would pay attention imo

In football you would still have to be 3 years removed from your high school class. So you would be in Canada for 3 years playing against grown ass men and making shyt pay.

In college them dudes are treated like kings. You get 3 years of basically doing whatever you want, having everything handed to you, and an endless buffet of ass to chose from.

Good point, for some reason I thought you can leave after your sophomore year. Didnt Calrette do something like that? Either way in football you dont want to have too much wear and tear on your body so I guess school is the better choice. :ehh:

i agree with you on the goin to college

but the thread is for the kids who are tryin to make money straight outta highschool

nikkas in the other thread talkin about college players cant feed themselves :stopitslime: thats a damn lie, just like you said they treated like kings on campus

basically if a star hs player had no intention on gettin an education and is in it for the money why not go to the DLeague/CFL as well as sign they own endorsements/sponsors/etc

i think it would create a whole new lane. BJennings tried to do it but i think he aint do it right.

You would stand to make more money making a name for yourself dominating people who will be managing an Enterprise car rental spot than trying to do it against people with marginal NFL talent.

A 17-18 year old kid does not want to be in a position where he has to try and out physical a 29 year old man.

Nope. Like I said, the CFL is the Bermuda Triangle. People would wonder why a high prospect would go into the CFL. Your mom, dad, and gold-digger girlfriend (just kidding) want you to go the NCAA route. Even your high school coach would recommend Alabama or Oklahoma over the Calgary Stampede.
Your chances of getting into the NFL is more difficult from the CFL than from an NCAA school. It's just the way it is. It's not impossible, but not the best route. You can make waves in the CFL and no one bats an eye in the US, you can hope and pray an NFL scout is willing to contact you. You put up big numbers in the NCAA, your name gets thrown around with the words "NFL Draft", you get in Sports Illustrated and ESPN magazine, it's just more exposure.

IF you do not need to pay for room and board

An internship with a major company with exposure > > > > > An entry level job at a restaraunt

*shrugs* I would much rather spend a year(in the case of Wiggins or another one and done type) being BMOC than spend that year living the NBDL life. shyt, a bum ass nikka on a D1 squad gets perks, can you imagine how Wiggins is living? I wouldn't trade that for staying in shytty hotels and traveling by bus in the NBDL, all while playing in obscurity.
