Would you enjoy LSU FB if college football wasn't a NFL minor league?

Let's say the NFL developed differently in that in the 1930s it decided that a minor league system was better for developing players and figured they can make money in smaller towns like Canton, OH, Peoria, IL, Allentown, PA, Rochester, NY with minor league football like baseball and they got people to pay money in towns like that to support minor league football and paid football players in the minors next to nothing and like MLB was able to make money and survive with a minor league.
Would LSU FB be such a big deal to you? Would it be like women's hoops or men's baseball. Popular but nowhere near the 90,000+ in the stands and a playoffs at the level of DII football? Would you still follow LSU FB at the level you do now with no national tv coverage like minor league baseball?

This is a shitty troll attempt, even by your standards.

Are you serious with this BS?

I would rather it be that way, where high school players could go directly to pro football if they were not interested in college, similar to the baseball system. If that results in fewer fans, so be it. I am an alumnus, so I'll always be a fan.

Obviously it wouldn't be the same for all of CFB. Also all the TV money wouldn't be there, but it didn't happen that way so it doesn't matter.

Not sure as to what you're asking. MLB has a minor league and Alex Box isn't empty

I would enjoy LSU FB if the NFL developed differently and the best future NFL players went to a minor league system.
I figure college football would be more like the Ivy League. Where the crowds aren't as big but the fan base passionate. I do think though the non Power 5 conferences would be more like division III instead of what they are now. You'd have 3,000 people to see USL at the most.

I feel so bad for you that you wasted time typing that garbage out

I wouldn't give a shite. My dream is for everyone to stop watching any NFL crap. I want the NFL to dry up and blow away.

I ONLY watch LSU and college football. I do not give a damn about the Saints or the NFL with all their millionaires playing for billionaires.

not sure what you are trying to convey. LSU is a fricking COLLEGE that has a football team. there would be no minor league team in baton rouge. and a minor league team in Louisiana would not suck all of the best players away.

Is Alex Box the only college baseball stadium in the country? The MLB's farm system has pretty much gutted college baseball lately and the only entertaining players making it to college are guys like Bregman who are all stars but get hurt in HS, guys like Nola who are great pitchers but are physically immature out of high school and fill out late and gain velocity late in their careers, guys who have a one outstanding tool and develop the rest of them later in their careers, and guys who can play but have fricked up builds and don't project well at the next level.
I'm sure he's asking if you'd be as interested in football if Leonard Fournette, Jamal Adams, Patrick Peterson, and pretty much every other 5* or very high 4* and physical freak never made it to LSU's campus. I'm sure that all the superfans on this board are going to act like they wouldn't care but people would generally be a lot less interested in CFB if that were the case IMO.
But you should go back to bitching about Johnny Jones and Joe Alleva. God forbid anyone throw out a hypothetical on this board for the sake of discussion

There is a portion of the human race that makes you skeptical of natural selection. You sir are amongst that group.
