I think the only legit argument that was brought up was that of Robert Smith, when he asked the GM why should players risk getting injured in college fball, and lose out on money.
Jim Brown might bascially didnt help clarett's cause at all he presented himself as an idiot, and made dumb points.
What neither these guys realize is that if they hadn't played in college they probably would've never made it to the pros. Robert Smith took time to develop into a solid running back here at Ohio State. Essentially every player is that way. If you want to give them that choice chances are that you'll have many players go prematurely, and then they'll really be screwed if they dont make it in the NFL. If Clarett played another year of college he could prove he isnt that prone to injury, and that he can rush against teams gunning for him. Mike Williams could go as a #1 pick instead of a late first roudn pick.
Letting players go the the NFL as they see fit will dick over about 80% of the players who dont make it, turn the NFL into an NBA, and most importantly completly ruin College Football.
