All of this is going to end up destroying the very thing that made college football so special.

What - exactly - made it so special to you ? The notion that a player, once they walked through those doors, couldn't leave for at least four years ?

I signed a contract with the US Army for six. I really, really couldn't break that one. Didn't seem all that "special", at any time I did not, get this, renew the contract.

Tell us more - how ironclad should these "contracts" between ball players and schools be ? So that you may maximize the enjoyment of your viewing experience ?
