You really this dense or are you just pretending ?

No one is milking anything from anyone jackleg, these colleges were playing football to large crowds way before your “ GHETTO KIDS ” were playing football.


If not for college football there would be no NFL , the NFL was not as successful as college football until the mid 50s.

7 pages into the thread and the only posters that support "paying" college athletes are TA&M posters.

If you don't think a full scholly, room, board and all of the benefits and extras that come with being a athlete is enough "pay" for a college athlete, you must not think very highly of your school.

It would be too hard to pretend to be as dumb as i am.

I am just stating their perspective. College football was not nearly the big business it has become until the 80s. And, oddly enough, that's when all the large-scale pay-for-play scandals emerged. Sure there were some before then, but not nearly on that scale.

I am not sure what point you are making here, but if you are trying to say that the NFL owes its soul to college football, maybe the NFL should contribute?

Why get all upset? We're just having an intellectual discussion here. Neither of us have any power. Why are you acting like I am unilaterally making this decision without everyone's consent?
