OK.
Let's start a semi pro league and let all the kids who don't value the education and want to get paid forfeit their eligibility and give it their best shot.
Then we'll fill the UGA roster with student athletes who are good enough make the team but also want to go to UGA and value what they've been given. This would also be fair to all the other athletes in sports that don't generate revenue.
I'd still go watch UGA. And anyone that says they wouldn't because of the talent level or quality of play is lying because if that was the case none of us would watch anything but the NFL.
I think it would be refreshing to separate the NFL wannabe, signing day shenanigans, and "gotta get paid" "wut wut" bullshite from true student athletics anyway.
The semi pro league would go broke in a year.

Suits me. I think college athletics ought to emphasize the student in student-athlete. A kid who doesn't value a scholly is just as bad as some fat arse coach making 3m, preaching family values, who pressures kids to play hurt or who does the ole "wink, wink" when he lectures kids about 'roid use.

If it were true Georgia Tech would have done away with football years ago....
