[QUOTE="westsiderSJHS77, post: 131264533, member: 1864694"] Paying players will be the end of college athletics as we know it. Pick the blue bloods (LSU, Georgia, Notre Dame, USC, Ohio State, Alabama, Clemson, etc). All those programs have the financial backing to afford that. And to be sure, bonuses, incentive payment, endorsements and the like will be piled on top of that. The Iowa States, WVU, Rutgers, Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech, Oregon States, etc will not be able to keep up. The blue bloods will splinter off and garner all the TV rights and it will go back to the way the NCAA ran it before the CFA came along. Everyone will get sick of watching Notre Dame, Texas, Oklahoma and Alabama every week ONLY. The rest of the P5 schools will be streamed with some of the G5 that reform into a classification and the rest of the G5 will maybe get on local TV. At that point Universities will just have a payroll for 100 players, and 40-50 support staff that are just there to play football. Cooks, janitors, financial aid staff, etc will be looking at a kid making more money than they do just because they can jump higher, run faster, etc. Wonder how that will go over? This will turn people off and interest will drop, TV rights will not feed the beast it created and then more “outside” money will be pumped in by boosters, but more important gambling interests. Which I have said before, gambling will ruin college athletics, sooner than later now. The Woohoo Virus has speed up the schedule. Stay tuned. [/QUOTE]
