At least it is a starting point. In the south, we romanticize college football. The NFL is second tier. In many, if not most areas, college ball is behind the NFL in popularity.
In the south we still believe kids play for the love of the game, for the "G." I'm not sure that is the case for a lot of kids. I ran because I loved to compete. Lacing up and racing was totally different from my day job. Racing was visceral, mano a mano. I would have done it for free, but I liked it better when I made a little change.

OK.
Let's start a semi pro league and let all the kids who don't value the education and want to get paid forfeit their eligibility and give it their best shot.
Then we'll fill the UGA roster with student athletes who are good enough make the team but also want to go to UGA and value what they've been given. This would also be fair to all the other athletes in sports that don't generate revenue.
I'd still go watch UGA. And anyone that says they wouldn't because of the talent level or quality of play is lying because if that was the case none of us would watch anything but the NFL.
I think it would be refreshing to separate the NFL wannabe, signing day shenanigans, and "gotta get paid" "wut wut" bullshite from true student athletics anyway.
The semi pro league would go broke in a year.
