Someone would have to bring up the economics of college athletics after the season starts. I was just starting to put all this crap aside and enjoy watching football.
Taking a close look at all of this, and then adding in the Ed O'Bannon lawsuit and Mike Slive's constant saber rattling about separate rules and possibly schedules for the Big 5 conferences, it all just makes me shake my head. I just know I'm trying to enjoy college football right now, because what is happening is NOT sustainable. The money. The unchecked power. The greed.
If the SEC, Big 10, Big 12, PAC 12 and ACC keep going down this path, I think it will end in a bad place with a lot of cancelled football programs. That and many, many lawsuits covering a number of issues.
