I agree with this thought. The NFL and other major sport franchises will formalize what is already happening, they will make certain major schools their minor league franchises, the sooner we understand this the better. This is more like the Euro system, I know of several guys that were promising soccer players in Europe that became semi-pro in HS. The teams were in no way aligned to their school. It was first a club sport and in some cases the better athletes were recruited onto semi-pro and lower level pro teams.
