My takeaway from it was the NFL really relies heavily on College Football to do the "dirty work" of developing these players to be pro ready... even though that's not at all the job of a College Football HC. Their job is to win games, not train their players towards a specific style of play that they'll need once they get to the NFL.
If there's anyone to blame, I suppose it would be Goodell and the NFL owners at large for putting this responsibility at College Football's feet instead of using their own money to run a "Developmental League" themselves. I'm sure they potentially saw this coming, they just didn't care because they wanted to make more money.

Wouldn't it be nice if the NFL had a kind of minor league they could send a lot of these players to so they could develop NFL skills?
