The golden age of college football is over. Money has once again corrupted amateur sports and has taken over. No longer will sports teach teamwork, honor, loyalty and fortitude. The damage has already begun an is massive. One of the most storied conferences in college football, the Pacific Coast Conference is gone next year and kids are quitting their teams and transferring when times are tough or there’s more money to be made. Many don’t realize what we’re losing and won’t until its gone. Sadly, that is the history of man. Greed wins, humanity loses.

[@go.gators]

Yep

[@fecat93]

I don't know how this is possible with Title IX. At Northwestern 82% of revenue is from football, 17% from men's basketball, and 1% from all other sports. As a runner I casually follow Northwestern women's cross country, but to pay them anything for a sport that has costs and no revenue is absurd.

@@TenaciousStudent state schools are more subject to Title IX with FOIA requests being thrown left and right able to expose any schemes to get around those regulations. Private schools need a whistle blower or some egregious activity to be subject to that level of scrutiny. I just don't know how you can pay men's basketball players $100k and women's basketball players $5k and it be allowed. Economically those are probably accurate numbers, but politically?!?!

[@TenaciousStudent]

@@andrewjarvis2867 Had nothing to do with the comment. I couldn't care less about your football team. My comment is using Michigan as an example because they have one of the best law schools in the country while also being a blue blood in a meaningful sport. If they want to figure out a way around Title IX, they probably could. Congrats, you successfully cheated to gain success. I'm soooooooo impressed....

A lot of these athletes got full scholarships, does that get deducted? Greed is going to kill college athletics, not just football. Those players signed agreements for what they were promised and what they were expected to deliver. I don't care about the NCAA as a governing body, they need to go away, but this is swinging TOO hard towards the players. Just over 30 athletic departments operate with enough revenue to be in the black without state money or student fees. If the NCAA collapses who is on the hook? The schools? The Conferences? They didn't set the rules, the NCAA did.

[@roris5882]

It's not the football players obligation to fund the non-revenue generating sports. Just because the NCAA and greedy universities stole their players revenue and justified it by spending it on the non-revenue generating sports doesn't mean it's legal.

[@derwoodbowen5954]

I think that the big result will be that any school not in one of the big 4 will be relegated to minor status. There will be no more Idaho's in major bowl games. It will also be the richer getting richer as the big time conferences will rule TV money. Their ability to pay players more money will also guarantee that virtually all the top recruits go to the big name schools. Matt Painter voiced a real concern about how this will play out in basketball. The only virtue I can see to this mess is that there is no money paid under the table. It can all be paid upfront. Are we going to pretend that college athletes are still students?

[@user-wp3cy3fl2j]

There's no big 4, just the big 2 and the little 2. I expect the ACC to be gone when their major teams leave for the Big Ten and SEC.

[@chandlerwhite8302]

When has Idaho ever been in a major bowl game?? And do you really think those guys have been unpaid student athletes since the mid 1960’s or so? Seriously, how do think all those kids from the projects who could barely read were driving brand new $50,000 Dodge Chargers and staying academically eligible for four years? You are living in a dream world.

[@EnzoMoresi-mj8bc]

No judge (nor appellate court) would allow a jury verdict that destroys "the end of" college football. That would be against public policy, nor should they. The case is going to be ordered into binding court-monitored mediation.

[@davidfrost801]

Will all of this include cheer team? Marching Band? Equipment managers? Team trainers? There is a lot of support personnel for the team on the field, should they be included also? Or is it just the video game stars? I can remember league publications from the sixtys plastered with pics and articles of the football players, is this included also in the settlement? What about official team pictures? There is just so much to sift through, its immeasurable....

[@user-wp3cy3fl2j]

Good info Mark.

[@taxisquad11]

Football or ALL sports? What about intramural sports which at Ohio State is funded by Football money?

[@The1Kraken]

All other sports at every Division 1A universities exist only because of either football (99%) or basketball (1%) revenues. If we want to take it further- the Universities themselves in their current state exist because of their football programs.

[@taxisquad11]

@@The1Kraken Thus the more football money used for other purposes hurts all other sports at universities. Wouldn't Title IX sports have a reason to sue?

[@stevemoserify]

I remember college football history differently, several conferences took turns as strongest. Big 8 was frequently the best conference. Rarely was the big ten the best conference.

[@Mr.rogers1969]

So if they don't perform can they be fired or kicked off team.

[@MichaelSmith-xb5cp]

Another important point you say in your video is that the universities started football. That is not only provably false, but the universities tried to outlaw FB for being too violent a few times, and even the government was thinking about stepping into the fray. Some schools did outlaw their organized football teams for many years, which ultimately killed off the "mass play"

[@davidstemmler1836]

College football pays for a lot of sports, and almost all of woman's sports. Directly paying the players could put a damper on the other athletic endeavors.

[@billhollis4781]

Let’s form minor league football, then allow players who want to make money work for them. College football should only be for players who want to play college football and they can get a good education (engineering, computer science, math, etc) where when they graduate they can get a good paying job. College football coaches will no longer make millions either. College athletics should not be about money, and athletes should be academic athletes - students first. Money in college football has destroyed the purpose of it all.

[@HoustonCougarsGermany]

@billhollis4781 A M E N

[@chandlerwhite8302]

Yeah, ok. Let’s see how many of the players want to work and put their health at risk for free? The answer is none. Just watch your VHS video tapes of the “good ‘ol days” when only 3 or 4 different teams were competitive (the ones who could get away with cheating and paying their players like everyone else can now) and players were slaves to the NCAA. The rest of us will appreciate that the game has never been better and enjoy the playoffs. You and the NCAA will not be missed.

[@synitarthrax5618]

When I look at the NFL, I don't see team vs team. I see business vs business. CFB has turned the same corner. Yes, it's marketed as a "sport" but the competition on the field is about one organizations business decisions vs another. The old school reveries are not about the spirit of competition any more. It's now about market share and viewership. The old CFB days are over and it's between us fans to decide whether or not we go along with the new model. If we do, the business of CFB makes mint. If too many of us decide it just isn't the same and the product isn't worth it any more, it will fail as a business model. The next few years will be interesting.

[@MichaelSmith-xb5cp]

Once you give into extortion and kidnappers, they just come back to the well again and again. Lawyers can pull out every trick to try and shield these schools from repeat lawfare with a one-time ransom, but in the end, the litigious parties will taste blood and come back again. The only way out is that most of the D1 will have to eliminate all sports permanently.. That's likely a feature in all this, not a bug.

College football is now a TV show. The TV networks are pumping billions of dollars into college football. College football viewership was up 15% last year and forecast s are for that to go up even more. The addition of major powers to the Big ten and the SEC are going to create the competitive matchups that viewers want. I know it sucks and no the old rivalries are going away but that's the future. Get on board or get run over sorry

[@go.gators]

The demographics of america has changed extremely over the last few decades. the heyday of college football is over... private equity will step in, And rearrange everything to where there will be profit for the owners under private equity. And we will get a new version of college football and other sports. It's a long range plan started long ago...under the guise of helping the many, It will really help the few. It's just a long grinding process until private equity gets exactly what they want. I suggest everybody just enjoy their football and forget about the details. It's a big club, and you're not in it... Just give them your money, buy their paraphernalia...And shush.

[@mikepostell8720]

Private equity has already taken it over. They did it via their media assets taking control of all major sports. They control the TV revenue which funds the schools directly. Notice how ESPN has dictated who succeeds and fails via their assets. They could have easily stabilized the Pac 12 with a renegotiation and kept it alive. Ditto the Acc on their bad deal. ESPN has destroyed college football and college sports in general. We won’t have Olympic sports or non revenue sports for long. Just watch. Wrestling and swimming will be gone. Personal development gone. Revenue will be the only thing that matters.

[@tieneeddoawestruck2036]

The pro sports leagues will have to create junior leagues for the most talented. The only ones left to play college sports will be the atheletes that will never go pro. College football may very well die out. The other sports might survive, but with much less talented players

[@HoustonCougarsGermany]

Any separate, invitation-only semi-professional "league" championship is not of general interest.True, Alabama and Michigan fans, inter alia, will remain loyal, but I am not convinced that any exclusionary, narrowly-focused league will draw national attention, long-term (e.g., Nascar). Remaining FBS football teams vying for the (one-and-only) College Football National Championship is of broader interest, long-term. Why watch a year-long league-championship-series with eight over-hyped "blue-bloods" stomping irrelevant canon fodder, only to watch the same teams, year-after-year-after-year, vie for a title exclusive of the College Football National Championship crown, an honour reserved for college football programs, as it were? If ESPN, Fox et al. had their druthers, conference-exclusive of course, I venture to say that they would opt for the Super League option, currently being discussed, as this would certainly draw much broader viewership/interest; hence repudiation by Krieg Stinkey and his brown-shirted henchmen.

​@kaioh187 They may not be able to save it, but they can certainly step in to ban it. There's already historical precedent where this almost happened. It did at least force major rule changes that significantly altered the original form. The irony is that such a threat may be the only thing to save the student athlete model across all sports. College football teams have become nothing more than spinoffs and should be treated the same. No different than a Google or Facebook or big defense contractor. What if students invented circuses instead of football, and that became super popular with the masses, but the extravaganzas involved exploitation, risk, and death? Congress could and would certainly step in if the university regulators failed.

[@roris5882]

Why would the football players agree to place a salary cap on their NIL revenue or share their revenue with the non-revenue generating sports? Who cares what the non-revenue generating sports want because that TV revenue isn't their money. They need to force negotiations with their football player unions for each conference.

[@richardbrookins5406]

I just love the "Hooray for me, the hell with you" arguments. It shows who the greedy ones are. Football should be split 50/50 with all the other sports including basketball. There are way more college athletes than just football. People forget that. And I love college football.

[@roris5882]

@@richardbrookins5406 90% of the revenue from the TV contract is generated from the football programs. Sports isn't a welfare system, it's a business.
