The NFL doesn't require a college degree - it's just that playing college football is by far the best way to learn how to play professional football and to get noticed by the NFL teams.

Most college players don't go on to be successful in the NFL, but for those who do, college was a very good investment.

Is it even an investment? I thought most college football players were there on scholarships.

Or has TV warped my view?

Oh, right. Most of them are on scholarships. But not all, at least not for their freshman year.
