[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 1005130, member: 265"] First off, I'm so there with you. I hate the commercialization of college football in all its forms and varieties. I would go along with abandoning the P5 to get away from it. I don't want players to get millions and I sure as Hell don't want coaches to get the outrageous salaries they get today either. This whole business divorces college sports from the purposes of higher education and I [I]really[/I], [I][B]REALLY[/B][/I] don't like it. Ok, it felt great to get that off my chest. Unfortunately, college football as a sports phenom could care less about my views on the subject (distressing how often that happens). If Tech wants to survive as a major college football/basketball/baseball program - and I sure do hope it can - then these matters must be faced. I feel (sorta; they're being paid for this) for the coaches when recruiting becomes a full time job for the whole year. I sympathize with the players who have seen their sport become a source of money instead of personal enjoyment. But … them's the breaks and Tech, like very other school, has to get above the waves to survive. I bought my season tickets and my parking passes. I just got a new car so no big bucks for Tech this year. But I'm going to try to get more support their way going forward. [/QUOTE]
