Of course there are, but how long did you think a sport would be able to make pro levels of money while making it inadmissible for the players to make a dime?

That was always a system that was set up to fail. At least in American capitalism it is, and I’m completely ok with.

CFB has to adapt and it will.

Permanently. It is called amateurism.

Do you think that players should have unlimited eligibility?
10 year starting QBs at UGA?
Trust me. Amateurism is different for a reason. It isnt the best players in football (not in the nfl). It is the best amateurs in football.

Once you pay players, it is age discrimination to exclude kids 5 years removed from high school. Amateurism has some basic concepts at play in college football which make it 180 degrees different than professional sports. Too many people seem to lose sight of this.
