[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 863237, member: 265"] I'm coming to feel about big time college football then same way I feel about boxing. There's almost no sporting event I like better then a title boxing match. It has an excitement that isn't matched by any other sport, imho. However, if I had it in my power, I'd get rid of prize fighting altogether. It is high time for civilized people to give up blood sports. By the same token, I truly love watching big time college football. It is also exciting to watch and I truly enjoy it. But … It has gotten to a spot where it is impinging on the main role of post-secondary education. It consumes to many resources and returns too little. It is ridiculous to see college football coaches paid as much as they are and to see the game as professionalized as it is. Further, since the students are losing interest in the games more every year, it might be time to de-emphasize. I don't think college football should be abolished; that wouldn't work any better then outlawing boxing. Seeing colleges reverting to something along the lines of Div 3 football, however, would be a solution that everybody (I guess) could live with. The sport survives, the kids who want to play for the pros could go into development leagues the pros pay for, and we could still have a national championship and the rest of the hoopla. But this won't happen until things get a good deal worse. [/QUOTE]
