NCAA Vacates USC's 2004 National Championship

Simple task, or you're admitting defeat.

Explain how a NFL developmental league would prevent cheating in the NCAA.

We have both acknowledged that you cannot prevent cheating. Giving kids the option to get paid instead of get an education would reduce the number of students willing to take extra benefits. If a kid chooses school and wants to get paid he can swap without having to take a year off like Dez did.

If you push it further, like the Ivy League, and remove all athletic scholarships you can reduce it further. The kids who are want to cheat are in the paid league and the kids in college are paying their own way or are on academic scholarship and will not want to screw it up. Cheating will likely be in the form of paying a player's tuition and fees, which will be much easier to catch than cash under the table.

You will never stop the cheating but you can make it irrelevant.

Most of that either doesn't make sense, or is completely impractical.

A much easier solution would be to do as I have suggested. That being, have the NCAA enforce strict punishment to teams caught cheating.

If a team is afraid of the repurcussions, they will police themselves, restrict booster access to non-existant levels, and eliminate players who don't abide by the rules.

That makes sense. What you're suggesting doesn't.

You are blind. World football (soccer) is far superior to the NFL. You can put your argument in a vacuum and pretend the NFL is better but you will always be wrong. This is not up for debate. The NFL does not need to change because there will alway be enough talent to fill out the 32 teams in the league, but don't be surprised to see the level of talent drop some as more kids play soccer so they can get paid faster.

lol

Waitwhat? Soccer is superior? The NFL is gonna lose talent to soccer?

lol

As I said, it is not up for debate. There are thousands of professional soccer teams and millions of professional soccer players world wide. Soccer commands more money and a larger audience. More people watch soccer's premier games (Champion's League and World Cup finals) than the Super Bowl. Football has a strangle hold on the U.S. just like baseball had before it. That strangle hold will not last forever.
