[QUOTE="gte447f, post: 860233, member: 4289"] If these current trends toward transitioning to a pro football model continue, won't there come a time when the the schools/colleges/universities are forced to cut ties with these professional football teams that use their names? Then instead of the University of Alabama Crimson Tide vs the u(sic)ga bull($**t)dwags, you have the Bama Boomers vs the Georgia Mutt Hounds in a lower tier professional sports league, and no one cares, just like no one cares about the XFL. How can academic institutions continue to be involved with professional sports? Legally and legislatively I mean. I'm sure cynics will say that the universities benefit financially from the sports and are too greedy to ever let go of that money. That may be true. It probably is. I am ignorant on the subject. Serious, naive question, how do the universities benefit financially, other than indirectly through popularity, etc? I read all the time on this board that the Institute and the GTAA have little to nothing to do with each other. [/QUOTE]
