No doubt. But if lots of schools agree that they think they have the skills, or will develop them, and that they are better than other kids, then are willing to pay big money for it. These kids have to take that money and I don't blame them.
It's not good for college football, but again the NCAA and the schools are reaping what they sowed. It's really not that different from the NFL where high draft picks that probably really don't deserve it are being paid really big money based mostly on the hope that they develop.
