“The NCAA has become the NFL.”
Then it’s time to treat it as a pro league, and tax it, and demand salaries for players. Because if this is how we’re going to do things... fire coaches at the drop of a hat... then you can’t call this amateur athletics anymore, and what the players are doing is essentially a work-study program. Other students get paid for work-study.
We need to decide if college football is about character, sportsmanship, and amateur athletics, or if it’s a professional, profit-making enterprise.
One of my all-time favorite movies is a 1953 John Wayne movie called, ‘Trouble Along the Way’ in which Big John plays a college football coach. Outstanding movie.
