This is really going to hurt both the NFL and NCAA football. NCAA will lose a lot of huge prospects, and the NFL will start getting riskier players who are lees likely to pan out.
What I could see happening is the NFL using NFL Europe as a true farm league, and maybe building a minor league in America if this thing stands. That way, a player can still develop, but out of the way of the main NFL guys.
