re: Do You Kind of Want to See Big Time College Athletics Destroyed?

I want to see the NCAA as it is currently set up go away. I want the power to reside with a strong NCAA and not the schools and conferences. I want the NCAA to collect all the money from the athletic departments. I also want them to collect all TV revenue and contract with EA sports for video games. Then they give about 25% of that revenue back to each school’s athletic department, keep 10% for operating fees and send the remainder to the schools academic department. No more $50M coaching contracts, kids can stop whining about getting paid, and the academics get funded.

Absolutely fricking not.
Why would I want something I enjoy watching, destroyed?
I wish I could have your enthusiasm for the game, but I could see cfb turn to ashes and be fine.
Its finest hour has passed in my eye at least

I agree with this.
College basketball probably could use a reset like you say.
But, college football (despite your complaint about the money) is built to have the best product on the collegiate field.

Hell yes.
The best a brightest of our professional athletes can use their time to fix how horrible white people are.
You're a piece of shite if you don't want this.

The idea of huge autonomous athletic clubs bolted on the colleges is absurd when you think about it.
The idea of a "student athlete" at the highest levels is a farce. They never transfer because they are dissatisfied with their degree program. Transfers are always about sports issues. Academics only enters the picture when it affects eligibility. If they were students first they would transfer for the same reasons other students do.

I kinda miss the days of the Southwest Conference, circa 1978-1985. It was a Wild West free-for-all, with money changing hands, cars being bought for recruits, housing for recruit's families being paid for
I loved the part in the Pony Excess 30 For 30 where they were talking about Texas A&M boosters buying Eric Dickerson a Trans Am only to have him flip to SMU. The SMU boosters were like "what was A&M gonna say? 'Hey no fair, we bought that Trans Am fair and square!'"

Y'all do realize the NCAA is run by the school presidents? It's not some anonymous organization that dictates to the schools. It is the the schools!

I want to see a system set up so that players can choose a scholarship track or choose to be a professional at any given university

quote:the amount of money in college football was no where near what is today. Bo Schembechlar(?) turned down $250,000 to be the head coach at A&M in 1982 (which would have doubled his salary). We didn't have social media back then and lot of things stayed out of the news.
Do a little research on the troubles players were getting in in the 70s -80s
Back then the cops looked the other way. There is 100+ Males on a college football team Take a 100+ random male students at LSU or Alabama and they'll get in just as much trouble
In many cases it was "out of sight, out of mind". That is not the case today.

And how much money do these sports generate for the schools and their towns and state's economy? Millions. What happens to that ? You think people are paying that kind of money to go watch a science research fair?
Did you pick and choose which sentences to read and not read? Look at the very end - the portion in bold.

As fans, we all share a part of blame to what it has become. Look at recruiting sites and services. Look at the spectacle signing day has become. Head coaches are the highest paid government employees throughout the states. Not the Dean of the Universities. Head football and basketball coaches. Look at the "arms-race" of building elite facilities and 100,000+ stadiums. Look at the exposure (or over-exposure) these players get and receive. This isn't Mount Union vs. Wittenberg, Wesleyan vs. St. Olaf. This is Michigan. Ohio State. Penn State. Alabama. USC. Texas. These are major, major money makers. We're talking $100+ million here. The system is broken and corrupt. But, when you're dealing with that kind of money, it isn't going to revert back to the "good ole' days".

Destroyed? No. But I think it would be a better game if schools didn't lower admissions standards and pander to high school recruits at the cost of the University's integrity. Recruiting has devolved into a disgusting process.

Agree. And just to be fair, let's not keep score of the games. Let's make sure the scholarships represent the demographics appropriately, to include all the genders,and other dis-enfranchised and under represented groups. Plus, make sure every participant gets a trophy and championship ring, too.
Admission to the games could be free, and concessions could be super discounted too!
Too bad Chicken and his investors will have to shut down this site when traffic disappears.
