[QUOTE="gtstinger776, post: 477764, member: 2911"] Yeah - I think there is still a big market for football and still a supply of players who enjoy the sport and desire the educational advantages. I think those factors play to higher caliber academic schools’ advantages. But I think the mass-market factory model cannot sustain itself without the existence of a licensing agreeemnt (e.g. UofAlabama “licenses” their brand to a minor league football franchise that pays its players). I think the current movement for paying players coupled with the mounting evidence of head injuries will triangulate into player payments. The NCAA, as an amateur organization, can no longer sweep this under the rug. It will have to either license school/team names or lose its market to a minor league football league. If it’s the latter, GT will become enormously more relevant. In that scenario, CFB will resemble its 1910s/1930s self. [/QUOTE]
