but it’s not a student-athlete game like it was in 80’s and 90’s.


WTF?You REALLY think it was a "student-athlete" game in the 80'S and 90's?Were you even around then?Did you notice those stellar scholar athletes from Miami and Nebraska
who dominated those decades?

nothing more than a corporate feel NFL development league that is dirty in every single facet of the game
By any measure it's a cleaner game today than it was back then...no idea what you mean by "corporate feel"

College football is definitely more corporate these days than it was in the past.

The money the coaches are making, the leagues are making, the tv contracts, the playoffs, the size and niceness of the facilities, the endorsement deals, the media attention, etc.

College football has never been this pure amateur athletic utopia or anything, but there's no denying it has strayed even further away from that supposed ideal than it used to be.
