There will be a super League or division of around 30 teams.

That's the word

And if you don't believe me, just watch how fast this expansion happens. It's done.

That's what shocked Texas and Oklahoma into their move. That's what FOX tv executives told them when they said "no thanks" to negotiating another big twelve tv package

No sir. The twelve team playoff and million dollar college quarterbacks didn't just happen for no reason at all. On the heals of the 155 billion dollar NFL TV deal the elite football powers realized that their 100 year old brands were good for more than Saturday afternoon fuzzies. They are an untapped gold mind.

Imagine, a bigger pie, say 100 billion dollars bigger, and a smaller division, say 30 schools.

Endgame.

Effectively, the money men have stepped in and taken over. And Universities now own multi billion dollar franchises. And if you do the math you'll see that no amount of nastalgia for the college game will stop this freight train of a money train from rolling.

All pretenses are to be cast aside, as will programs like Vandy and Purdue and many others. No more NCAA.
No more sanctions

And no more team buses. Starters will arrive in Mercedes, accompanied by sullen looking girls wearing dark shades and skin tight pencil skirts... part personal assistants, part music video booty shakers.

There will be players unions and bidding wars. And the profits will be as obscene as the parties 19 year old millionaires can concieve on a Saturday night.

NIL is a prerequisite for this new super league. It had to be.
And imagine the consternation when many schools are given their walking papers.

I remember when I was a kid, I would sit on the back porch on a late Saturday afternoon, watching the southern pines sway and their shadows dance on the fresh cut St Augustine ... all to the sound of Forney and Layton and Duncan. It was surreal. It was tribal. It was beautiful.

And now it's gone. For the money.

I once had a girl I loved. But she lived far away. And I had a good job. So we drifted apart... for the money.

You can't put a dollar value on what college football meant. You can't put a dollar value on everything. But we do. And we say we have to. Because it's just too much money. And after all, it's all about money.

And as the saying goes, "Thus is the world. No, thus have we made it."

We live in Crazyville. And kids can't just play football for two or three years. They have to get paid or it's exploitative.

And the Universities can't just throw a big game on a Saturday with hotdogs and peanuts and color and pagentry. They have to morph into quasi NFL money making ventures

Well it all suck. And it lacks vision. And believe it or not, it robbing all involved of something that was beautiful and real. When we do something for the love of it, that's life! It has no price. It's beyond price.

There is plenty of time for selling out for bucks. Why rush it.
