[QUOTE="Endless Purple, post: 3163800, member: 778"] I also believe a semi-pro model will fail in the long term. IF you have a breakaway of 32-40 teams with paid players, free or unlimited transfers, little controlled salary, then it is more like a professional league that would compete with the pros. How profitable are the XFL and USFL when going up against the NFL? minor league baseball vs major league? I think it loses that college aspect and perception. After that, what makes it different than the Birmingham Stallions once they start having a bunch of 7-9 win seasons with only equal level talented teams? I think that is the evolution of where this is headed. I know I am giving college football a couple years to figure out the money/pay side and if it ends up the pro model, I will stop going. Others will too. IF the top teams break away and TCU stays in a college level lower group with less money, I will stay as I like to support the school and its students, not players making a bunch of money on top of my contributions towards scholarships. They wont need my money if getting a bunch already in pay, so why waste it. [/QUOTE]
