Mississippi State Head Football Coach, Mike Leach, shares an ambitious plan for a two-tiered college football system:

  • Tier 1 = retain traditional amateurism, and student-athletes that play out their eligibility at one school receive a $150,000 bonus upon graduation.
  • Tier 2 = full on professionalism, with players being drafted, traded, or cut. High school athletes would be able to choose which tier to enter.

 

This is a bold concept from a unique personality. Listen to the full episode to hear more about Coach Leach's plans for college football, including a 64-team CFP.
