re: Must read this article on the destruction of college football!

Meh. We not talking about 53 highly skilled professional football players per school. Out of 85 man scholarship per team, I’m guessing less than 10 will warrant money above 500,000 per year. So let’s say 5-10 million for your stars. The other 70-75 2-4 stars may warrant 20k to 100k pay. Let’s say 40k average for these guys. So let’s round and say $3-4 mil for the rest of team. So, 15-20 mil payrolls for the elite teams to be competitive.

Alabama , Texas, OSU, etc make over 200mil or more. Seems the fat cats will take a 10% pay cut

What’s wrong with players getting what the market will bear? Nothing
But the article mentioned the fans and that’s who will pay in higher ticket prices, beer prices etc.

Yes, at some point The powers to be will come together and form an NFL lite conference with rules etc.
