Should ESPN set-up an AUCTION for the Top 150 recruits?

You know, like Barrett-Jackson does for collector cars.
Just think of the RATINGS and ALL THE $$$!

Umm… as a descendant of people who were auctioned off at one time in this country

And with most of those players being descendants of people once auctioned off in this country- might not be a good look for ESPN or our country.

I think you are just joking, but I am not sure this is the path to making a good joke.

Doing it that way would actually be better for the players by giving them a highly competitive environment for their services.
They would have an opportunity to get numerous schools into a "bidding war" which could amount to significant increase in their "market value".
If CFB is no more than a business now, then you have to consider how to maximize profitability from every standpoint.
This would provide a tool the players themselves could manipulate for their own interests.

The players could have a "Reserve" for the bidding to protect their value.
But just think about it!!! It would be EPIC!
Recruting Coordinators from every college & university across the country either in the room or making on-line bids while on screen highlight videos are shown as each player walks out on the stage and pumps up the crowd... Dooood, we're talkin' MAJOR EVENT & MAXIMUM PAYOUT, no question!

Might as well. I used to get aggravated at fans publicly criticizing 19 year old “student athletes”. But they are pros now so fair game I guess.

Sounds like you are suggesting violations of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution.

Perhaps this is the force that drives the divison of D-! football into two levels - with the first level holding a draft and the second level taking what is left.

You might be on to something here!

That 1st level would essentially be the "semi-pro" league and the 2nd tier would remain more of what we considered "traditional" amateur CFB.
