[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 871166, member: 4334"] My view is this is just the next twist in a hundred year line of twists. However, for many fans this is the first twist they are acknowledging and all of a sudden the world is ending. In the long view, the sport of football is so popular in this country that there will always be players to replace players. Fans claim they are close to being “done” with the sport. Why? It’s always been lopsided. Heck, the scores of todays games are not nearly as lopsided as in the 70’s and 80’s when teams had to run up scores to impress a 27 year old sports editor at the Spokane Times. Fans root for their school, not players, and there will always be players lining up to wear your teams jersey. Even if the NFL created a paid minor league system and every 4 and 5 star went pro out of high school the college game would still be fantastic because of the sheer number of players. It’s the reason lower level college games and playoffs are awesome to watch. Their are tons of ball players out there and they don’t mature at the same time. As I stated, I’m looking forward to watching this NIL stuff to blow up in their faces like we know it will. Remember the first NIL guy - Ewers? He never played a down for that school. Let some rich guy pay Miami’s OLine and then he can watch them suck all season. Let a coach not play a million dollar baby and then watch the “Auburn scenario” play out at dozens of schools simultaneously. It’s gonna be awesome to watch. And then the NCAA will try and do something and every one will laugh and then the courts will get involved and eventually Congress. It’s gonna be fun. [/QUOTE]
