[QUOTE="Scioto, post: 4560829, member: 12310"] It's sort of funny how the media is taking Vrabel's press conference comments about college football being the "NFL farm system" out of context. Although it is true, what he meant was NFL coaches have to pay attention to what is being run at the college level and adopt some of it. But some in the media are conflating it and asking "should college football players be paid"? I'm also sure that Meyer and Saban bristled when they heard him say "Nick Saban is our farm system. Urban Meyer is our farm system." While true, I'm sure they bristled when hearing it. But they shouldn't. Every recruit that has now heard that comment, even though Vrabel meant all of college football is the farm system, has got "Ohio State and Alabama are NFL farm teams" in the brain just a few weeks prior to final national signing day! That comment is going to boost the Alabama and Ohio State final 2018 recruiting classes. If you really want some laughs, go to MGOBlog and read how a bunch of Michigan fans think the Ryan Day offer/declined offer, Ed Warriner to Titans to coach the O line rumor, and the farm system comment are all one big Vrabel/Meyer conspiracy targeting Michigan football. Some good stuff over there. [/QUOTE]
