Your 2¢ worth makes sense. One platoon football as in the late 50’s and early 60’s would cut scholarships thus costs. Players would have to be fundamentally sound and well conditioned. Of course with the concussion issue and the feminization effort against the American male, football will likely vanish or be p!aged under drastically different rules in 30 years.
That would be unfortunate. Football is a uniquely American game, and one of the traits that sets Americans off from the rest of the world is the ability to understand and appreciate football, a game whose rules and procedures most foreigners find baffling.
But we're making America great again, so that probably won't happen.
