Part 5/8:
Amid comparisons between college and professional football, clarity is needed. The dynamics of recruiting are vastly different; college coaches do not have the luxury of selecting players as NFL franchises do through drafts. Instead, they must convince athletes to choose their program, often against well-funded rivals, creating a unique challenge.
Additionally, the absence of agent regulation in college football exacerbates this complication. Without certified agents, high school players and their families may not fully grasp the risks entailed in their decisions, leaving them vulnerable in negotiations.
