If it goes that way College football will be dead in 5-10 years. Once it’s truly pay for play why watch them? They are not part of anyone’s Alma mater and become nothing more than a minor league for the NFL much in the way MLB and the NHL and the NBA D league……most won’t bother following the teams anymore. I know I won’t, and I much prefer college ball to the pros…..at least as it used to be.
