Nobody cares about college sports as much as Boomers. That's because they can remember it when it was pretty much amateur college kids representing their schools and their states. It's something pure and wonderful to their minds.
My generation cares about it much less, and to some degree we care about it as a way of vicariously channeling our parents and grandparents' love of it, or in some cases even remembering it being more wholesome, less commercialized.
Turn it into NFL-lite, then it's just a shitty version of the NFL. I don't understand the rush to do that.

This will destroy college sports - ALL college sports. Some college athletes will make much more than their professional counterparts. And the real travesty is most college athletes will make zilch. Star QB makes $5 million. Walk on 4th string cornerback makes nada. Bench sitting volley ball players will make nothing. Money will bring crime (both organized and unorganized) into every college sport. But the biggest problem is money will divide the players against each other and "teams" will break into pieces - some STARS making big money and mostly everybody else who is not a star making nothing.
If they allow the players to unionize or negotiate as a group and create a scale of pay they'll have to share the money with every other sport and athlete - and that won't fly with the revenue sports.
You can kiss college football and every other college sport goodbye as soon as the money begins to flow to college athletes.
It's ova.
