something that will kill collegiate athletics

only if it's market driven. if players openly go to the highest bidder, college football is doomed. i for certain will no longer support it. frankly, it might be a good thing to kill college revenue sports and start over from scratch. there is very little difference between major college football and the pro's anyway. it's the nfl minor leagues that the nfl does't have to pay a dime for.
