should there be a waiver process to allow a player of his caliber to declare early?

I think there should be. Because what happens if he gets not only injured, but injured to a point where he never returns to his previous form. It could cost him millions. I know South Carolina fans want him for his full 4 years but this kid is already an NFL player.

He would likely go first this year unless the Chiefs are dead set on taking a QB.

I'm more worried about what could happen to my teams players, but yes. I don't think they are on the schedule any time soon though, so whatever.

It is just stupid that the NFL uses CFB as its' minor league system. If Clowney were to have skipped college, he would have already been called up to the bigs if there were an adequate minor league system.

Resounding NO!

But yeah I think so. JC is great and has already done a lot for the program.

Obviously we want him for the full 4 years, but it's also nice to have a first overall pick taken in the draft from your school.

I really like my college football as it is, but yes it is extremely unfair to the athletes. I think it does benefit a lot of players with no shot at the NFL by getting them college degrees though, which is very valuable, particularly at a place like Vandy.

On a more serious note though - no. You start doing that and pretty soon college football will go the way of college basketball. No thanks.

No, but the NCAA or college should provide insurance to cover draft-ready players in the event they sustain a career ending injury prior to becoming draft eligible.

The designation "draft-ready" may be somewhat subjective but there are plenty of analysts around to place a value on a player.

“We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.”

these superstar player do have insurance on their bodies. The schools don't pay for it, but usually the parents do. When they realize their children are gonna be multimillionaires, they're gonna protect that cash cow
