Sure, ok. That's still not really answering my question as to why players won't be able to go to college if they do this.
You can't be a professional and play NCAA football. Accepting that money would make them a professional.

Look at where I originally questioned conns in this thread. He was talking about attending college, not playing football there.

Yeah, but he's willing to do things like steal Cardboard Bernstein, so there's value in keeping him around

Not much different than a baseball player going to professional baseball after high school. The biggest difference is the MLB scholarship program is for 4 year schools. Besides that the player takes the same risks if injured or washes out.

Don't minor league teams play 145 games a year and make like 20k?

Yes at the lower levels. The upper levels they can make 40-50k.

It is different in that a team is invested in you as a baseball minor league player. This NFL league is more like an extended version of various post season talent showcases like the East West Shrine Game or whatever they call them these days.
