Those are terrible numbers compared to college football. Mac and sunbelt teams get 20,000+ into their stadiums.

they already do this. Its modern college football

I must have missed when all the public universities were bought out and are privately owned now.

If the market existed to watch 18-22 year olds unassociated with any college programs play football, wouldn't this league already exist?

I have a hard time believing the people with serious money in this country are just letting this goldmine sit untapped, they know they could never compete with the established universities and fanbases.

If the best u22 players are playing, people will watch.

I really doubt it. No minor leagues in any sports have ever moved the needle in attendance/tv ratings. And no professional football leagues outside of the nfl have ever gained any traction. Remove the colleges and no one will care about any of these players until they're in the nfl.


The biggest strength college football has always had is these universities are located in communities all over the country that wouldn't otherwise ever have their own pro teams. Remove the students, alumni, and ties to these local communities and the biggest reasons anyone cares about college sports are all gone.

Now consider that across every corporation and government agency in the country, there are women and minorities who are just as equally out of place in their roles as this woman is in hers, that are in much more important positions than a strength coach at a bad college football program, that were all handed their positions simply because of the color of their skin or their gender.

Its funny when its just a coach at a clown football program, but its not so funny to think there are air traffic controllers, doctors, even supreme court justices who are also comically under qualified to be where they are.

Lebron has the personality of a wet rag, and on top of that he's a massive racist. I dont really care what he has to say about the game of golf.

Its another disadvantage of these early big out of conference games. Ohio State and Texas have to spend fall practices preparing for each other while Indiana and Notre Dame get like 6 warm up games against high school teams before having to play anyone with a pulse. Obviously you cant predict injuries but having to practice harder to prepare for a good opponent right away has to increase the odds of someone getting hurt.

The democrats probably feel good enough at their chances in the midterms already and don't really need to rely on social unrest this time to get their voters amped up.

We never get away with any of this kind of stuff. We lost a coach and got a post season bowl ban because players traded their own property for tattoos. I'd really like to know what competitive advantage discounted tattoos provide on the football field. I think the players were incredibly dumb for doing that because they probably would like to have their trophies and rings later in life, but it has nothing to do with football or recruiting.

We can discuss USC too, I don't think they really get away with anything either though.

I will give the sec teams credit though, they're smart enough to tell the ncaa to frick off, same plan Michigan used. The ncaa really only has power if you turn over the evidence to them. The teams that get punished the hardest are always the ones that cooperate with the ncaa. If you stonewall them there isnt really anything they can do.

Unfortunately they wont ever actually reverse anything, all they've done is stop the bleeding. Roughly 10%-15% of Sweden's population is now immigrants from the middle east and africa, and they arent ever going away. You could cut off immigration completely for the next 100 years but you will never go back to whatever the country was when it was 99% native swedes.
