[QUOTE="Lee, post: 622473, member: 786"] I agree with most of what you post here, but disagree on this. How is what you describe any different than a pro sports team? Do Falcons fans stop being fans when Julio or Matt Ryan move on? What about Cardinals fans when Pujols moved to LA? Nope. Their fans are still fans? On another point, why when Calvin was here did we sell waay more #21 jerseys than any other number? I bet Clemson sold way more #4 jerseys when Watson was at Clemson than now. I’d bet they are selling a lot more #16 jerseys now. Why? Because of Trevor Lawrence. Same thing can be said for pro sports. Falcon fans buy more #2 and #11 jerseys now. Go back 15 years and I bet they sold more #7 or #28 jerseys. Whether or not revenues for the schools or pro teams vary year to year is highly dependent on the product on the field. Now if you look at NCAA revenues, they probably continue to climb. Same can be said for most pro sports. Regardless of who is coming into the league or leaving. You may not like the idea of players being paid, and that’s fine. I personally don’t like the NCAA using 18-22 year olds to make billions of dollars while simultaneously limiting their ability to change schools and only providing a scholarship, some swag, and some food in return. I’ll always side with the players over the corrupt NCAA. [/QUOTE]
