College Football used to be about fielding the best team from the students that attended the University. Currently, that is intramurals, as we have gone so far away from that. Honestly, the only way to keep the "sanctity of amateur athletics" would be to set up minor leagues of football like they have in baseball. The most interesting solution I have heard would be for the Athletic gear corporations that sponsor the schools to pay the players with a salary cap for each school. While this would essentially make colleges feeders to pro sports, and destroy the image some want to have of college athletes playing for the love of the school and free education, it would be a realistic solution. This shite is nothing new, its just easier to track now.

At least it is a starting point. In the south, we romanticize college football. The NFL is second tier. In many, if not most areas, college ball is behind the NFL in popularity.
In the south we still believe kids play for the love of the game, for the "G." I'm not sure that is the case for a lot of kids. I ran because I loved to compete. Lacing up and racing was totally different from my day job. Racing was visceral, mano a mano. I would have done it for free, but I liked it better when I made a little change.
