There is a certain segment of society with a “give me what’s mine” mentality. The scale has been tipped and CFB is in a death spiral. It’s only a matter of time.
I think the insistence of this mentality is due to economic pressures that didn't really start to emerge until the 1970s but has been progressing since then with every boom-bust cycle. The middle class is contracting in the United States and that is most typified by the amount of over-educated, under-employed people in this country. Any generic college degree isn't quite the ticket into middle class prosperity it once was and people's opinions about unpaid internships and student-athlete amateurism are all connected to that pressure. Younger people don't want to bargain that experience will pay off because the real world experience of others tells them "no" more than it once did.
People love to blame "the kids" but largely this is just punching down and ignoring systemic failures in this country that go unaddressed and erode the social fabric in so many ways big and small.

Word salad. These kids have no desire to gain an education. “I want what’s mine, and I want it now”. They do not understand where money comes from, how to spend it or how to create wealth. They will jump from school to school chasing the dollar and have nothing to show for it when they run out of eligibility and don’t even make an NFL squad, according to the statistics.
