[QUOTE="BigTen, post: 27624"] College Football v the Pros, Come on guys - this is easy. In the USA you start playing football seriously in High School. Once you leave High School, and given that you are good enough you will be picked up by a College. College in the USA is the equilvalent of a University in the UK, OZ, NZ etc. So College players are aged between 17 and 22. I am not sure if there is a cut-off age for College players - I have asked the question but haven't received a convincing answer. There must be one though otherwise ex-pros could go back to school and play College ball. Are Pro teams better then College teams? Of course they are. It is like men playing boys. Opps IT is men v boys. Bigger, stronger, faster, more experienced, better resourced, full-time professionals against part-time players (they are supposed to be studying full-time even if this doesn't always happen). Compare Super12 v NPC? Nah - more like Test XV v University XV. teh Mite, "NCAA... If that's what floats your boat. Dunno how Ametuers can be more fun than pros in a video game." Learn how to spell mate, you are embarassing me! [/QUOTE]
