re: I believe football is dying.

- Football attendance across the country is going down year after year.
Ticket prices are too high, concessions are too high, parking is too high. Too expensive to attend for most families.
- There's not near the hoopla surrounding NSD as there used to be.
Then why do we still have press conferences for 18 year old kids on ESPN?
- Even bandwagon fans are slowly not caring for the sport. (I didn't see near as many Bama bandwagon fans this year)
Lack of true competition among schools.
- The ticket prices go up, but aftermarket prices are at an all time low. (You could get national championship tickets on stubhub for $20 this year at game time!)
This boils down to tickets from the ticket office being too expensive. I think the DSOR was over $100 for a ticket this year from Auburn/Georgia. You can thank the Playoff for this as well. Can't travel that much in the span of 3 weeks if you have a real job.
- All of these lawsuits surrounding concussions and everything is going to start to really hurt the pockets of the NCAA and NFL.
Most head injuries could be prevented with better helmet technologies and actually teaching players to tackle instead of lauch themselves headfirst into opponents.
- Less and less families are having their kids play football. They're all playing less contact sports nowadays.
Full contact football shouldnt begin until the kids are around the age of 14 to allow their bodies to develop more before taking hits. Do a 7 on 7 scenario until then.
- Overall, I just don't see the overall fandom that use to exist in all teams. There just seems to be a collectively "whatever" about football now. Even you damn Bama fans were not that enthused this year for some reason.
I don't really see this at all.
