[QUOTE="Dogfrog, post: 3053144, member: 1924"] The popularity of college football is going to drop immediately IMO. College football has long underestimated the unique demand associated with the idea of the amateur athlete seeking a degree. Doesn’t matter that this ideal has been tarnished for years. The original ideal is what propels it, not the quality of football. Hell it’s easy to watch the best football teams if that’s really what you seek, just turn on your TV - the NFL is the very best. Moving college football player compensation away from the school’s wheelhouse (a degree) and toward their disillusioned fans ability to provide dollars to players is a death knell. Some schools may thrive to the extent their fans never valued degrees very highly anyway, but even Alabama will learn too late how much they miss Mercer, Southern Miss, and NMSU. [/QUOTE]
