[QUOTE="cpf2001, post: 971584, member: 6459"] Your claim of "overvalued" is purely based in your apparent dislike of the historical path of sports leagues in the US, but that's entirely arbitrary. Many factors went into creating this market vs a market more like in Europe where there [I]are[/I] more professional leagues, but it's still a market. Why is it any more "false" than any other league? All leagues are based on name recognition, historical affiliation, and irrational emotional attachments, when you get down to it. Why would it be bad for the players to get compensation for the value they have in this market? And why this wouldn't apply just as much to coaches and everyone else involved? Why do you particularly have an axe to grind only about the value of the players? Nick Saban couldn't hack it in the NFL so he has no real value as a coach? You keep bringing up the XFL or other alternate leagues but [B]nobody else is talking about those[/B], or about other post-college opportunities. "The public doesn't really want a third football league" is [B]not [/B]the point being debated. Strawman, heal thyself. For the NFL question - it's not really that relevant but, even there, it's not hard to find people saying the college basketball game suffered because of early entries to the NBA and one-and-done or never-there players. Or that college basketball mattered more in comparison to college football 30 years ago - see the relative demise of the "basketball-centric" conference. So I find it hard to believe that the college football market wouldn't change at all. Would a die-hard Bama fan stop watching? Not likely. Would an NFL-first fan who watches maybe a dozen or so CFB games a year watch less? Over time, most likely. Didn't the creation of the Falcons do something like this to GT already? College baseball is even further away from college football in terms of mass appeal, as well. [/QUOTE]
