I am thinking Northwestern is eventually going to drop football or move to a different conference. We will end up with about 30-50 teams in Division 1A or whatever they call it now. The money programs will be the only ones who can keep pace and will stack their rosters.

I think I'd be in favor of that. If we were to change the rules so that only the top division paid their football players, and narrowed it down to like 50 or 60 teams, and those schools all had plenty of money, then that would be cool. But some of the liberal folks on here don't get that there's not enough money to pay every athlete at every school at every level.

I just don't see it. If I'm a coach at a money school - I use up every last bit of that kid, and then throw him away. If I've got to pay him for the rest of his life, he's leaving in a wheel chair.
I think the studs would opt for the safer path to the NFL.
