This is bad news for college football also. Ratings are not going up for college ball due to decreased NFL watching. While college rating have remained steadier they are still below NFL games. The college game lasts longer and has more stoppages in play and more incomplete passes and far more uncompetitive games than the NFL. Sure to those of us who went to college and went to LSU games the pageantry will always be better, but we need to see this as an overall problem for football. If NFL ratings keep going down ratings for college football will follow.

We may be seeing an overall decline in the popularity of football that will impact all levels of football.

You think the NFL was on autopilot? They increased the nights broadcasting and they change the Rules every year

The NFL of 2006 could've coasted on autopilot forever, but they didn't do that. Goodell wanted to leave his mark. Mission accomplished. The NFL blows
