FOOTBALL SHOULDN'T DISAPPEAR
BECAUSE YOU TURNED 25.
WHY THE OGL EXISTS
THREE PROBLEMS.
ONE LEAGUE.
PLAYERS
Players finish university or junior football while still capable of competing at a high level. The game shouldn't end because the calendar says so.
CLUBS
Football organizations lose experienced athletes who could remain involved in the game. That experience and talent disappears from the community.
TALENT
Late-developing athletes lose a competitive place to play, stay on film, and continue developing. Some of the best players haven't peaked at 22.
NO SCHOLARSHIP.
PLAY ANYWAY.
GRIDIRON. NOT REC LEAGUE.
