[QUOTE="Wexahu, post: 2768865, member: 72863"] There is an issue with competitive balance that has always been there and always will, but we still live in a world where a TCU can make a NY6 Bowl, and even has a very outside chance of making the CFP. There is hope, and that is all a supporter, donor, or fan needs. Start opening up payments to players, whether directly or indirectly, and that hope is forever gone. And I know there has always been under the table paying of players but you know what I mean. College players are required to spend too much time on their sport, I agree with that. Reduce the hours spent....done. That has nothing to do with paying players. I live in a world where you don't take an action without understanding the consequences of that action. The fairly tale world is the world people live in where you think you can start paying college athletes without having some dire consequences, as in in the end most everyone is in a worse position than they initially were. The supply of big money is in college sports is because of the demand. Start messing with the demand side of the equation and the money is going to disappear. [/QUOTE]
