Today is the NFL Draft, That's Bad for Purdue Football

Today in Chicago some of the top players from the previous college football season will be drafted to enter into the NFL. None of the people in that room, or drafted today, will be from Purdue University. If a Purdue player gets drafted, and that's a big if, it will be in the later rounds watched only by those die-hard fans of the draft. That's a small contingent of fans. Purdue will get zero publicity over the next 2-3 days while other, bigger, schools will get plenty of free press. It doesn't just happen today either. As soon as the college football season is over the talking heads begin to look at who could be drafted and who will draft them.
