Respectfully, your first sentence is self-contradictory in 2026. By definition, if you get paid (handsomely) to do a thing, you are a professional (as opposed to an amateur). The distinction you perceive between college football and "professional football" no longer exists. College football is now a type of professional football. And everyone should govern themselves accordingly.
Yea i disagree completely, you are looking at the distinction from college and professional as are they getting paid or not and im looking at it as these are kids out of high school vs adults who spent three years in college. Thats a huge difference and yall know it
It’s that simple, im not treating someone differently based on if they’re getting paid or not. Grown adults get treated differently than teenagers or young adults, thats always been the case and that shouldn’t change now because they’re finally getting paid what they’re owed out in the open
Also we’re not gonna act like it didn’t exist before, these players been getting paid for ever, now that its not under the table anymore we should look at them as professionals? Lol cmon
