re: Advertisements on Uniforms Could Happen in College Football This Fall

should I start with schools killing 120 years of tradition for media money through conference realignment or the copying the NFL GameDay model to the T or the absurd coaching salaries that are now paid or the hundreds of millions of dollars being put into football facilities?

100% agree that the students didn't start this and the blame is on everyone who supported what you're talking about. BUT, two "wrongs" don't make a right.

And yes, in the context of amateur college sports, these latest developments are wrong in that they are antithetical.

This is a lie, schools have been changing conferences for the entire history of the game. They just started doing it for media reasons within the last 20 years because of ESPN's insistence on controlling the sport. Guess what else has been ruining the sport? Playoffs, transfer portal and NIL. Who put the wheels in motion on each of those and supported them fully? ESPN.

And spare me the bullshite about the coaches being paid. They are more available than the athletes. Most guys don't make it their full 4 years and a small percentage even contribute positively in that time.

Fans want money spent on their stadium and gameday experience because they are the customers. Have you ever actually worked a day in your life?
