Don't look at the college circuit as amateurs. The college circuit here in the states is more like semi-pros and the pool that gets picked from when it's time to draft and they go pro from there.

As far as college players selling their brands/signatures for money. No fuck that, they already get free scholarship and all those other benefits. They don't also need that cream off the top. Plus they already do it anyways just in an indirect way.
