College football is over. It is now nothing more than a farm system for the pro’s. There is no longer any reason for the colleges to be involved other than to pay for womens sports.

And kneeling against America.

College football players currently worry about losing scholarship $$.

This way, our domestic enemies can recruit from the colleges.

Next: High schools!

And that’s what it should be, a farm system for the pros!

Its been functionally that for 50 years or more. The professional football & basketball leagues ought to be required to pick up some to all of the cost to .. and I use the term loosely ... the educational institutions! Le the colleges lease their name to teams so they can get a revenue stream. It ends the charade of the “big-university” student-athlete. Puts some honesty back into the situation. Real colleges athletics at least for football & basketball only exists at the small college level. I know several who played at that level, parlayed it into an education and went on to be professional in everything from medicine, law, business to science/engineering.

Right on. I quit watching it many years ago. With all the gambling, cheating and scandals they might as well take them out of colleges and make them self supporting NFL farm teams.

They won’t be covering the cost of women’s teams without the football revenue.
