[QUOTE="Rock, post: 52630, member: 1095"] I am gonna get flamed for this but I have a biz degree so that's how my mind thinks. Academics aside, (I know that is what college is for but), College football is a multi-multi million, (if not Billion) dollar a year biz and a God to some people. The universities are a business, they are for profit. IMHO, I think it is completely $ driven to make more. That's how they build these new modern buildings, stadiums, athletic facilities, and attract more students ( which = $$). I can pay my players, attract the top players, win more NC's, fill the stadiums, sell more tickets, hot dogs, cokes, shirts, etc.. and run it like a pro team, why not??? I know college is for academics and preparing for your future, but I really feel like most top college players (GT may be an exception) are there for their 3 years and on the NFL. That's why you are seeing more juniors and RS SOPH declare lately. They are not thinking about, what if I don't make it big. I know too many (baseball) that thought they were the next pitcher for the Braves and now they are regretting not paying attention in class. From top to bottom its all about the $$. Now, do I think players should get paid... No. but I do feel like the NCAA are a bunch of clowns sometimes. Just my .02. [/QUOTE]
