CFB has been as dirty as anything else in society for decades and decades. How the hell do you watch any 30 for 30s anything on Legendary coaches at bluebloods and think any of this was pure?

I’m not arguing that it was ever free of issues.

But it was one of the more intrinsically motivated markets out there for a long time. Were some players getting money under the table? Absolutely.

But did they care about the letters on the uniform & about winning & developing their craft & the spirit of team sports more than just getting a big check as a stepping stone to the NFL or their own personal celebrity?

Also absolutely.

Always exceptions, but those elements that differentiated college ball from pro sports get buried deeper each year.

To argue otherwise would either be naive or disingenuous.
