The opt-in will still make sense for a lot of guys.
I talked to someone coming to law school. He was a D1 kicker in undergrad. He really understood the system. He knew he wasn't good enough to go pro. But he was pretty good at kicking. So, as he put it, he got 4 years undergrad fully paid for and got to play a game as well. And then he was going to law school. Win/win.
I hope that that path still exists for guys who aren't future NFL stars.
