Excellent point. I enjoy the college game, and as an SEC ‘homer’- I look forward to Missouri losing now.
It gets worse. Thanks to Colon Krapperdick and the NFL standing behind him and other drama queens it will effect the next NFL draft. College juniors who will be draft eligible will now have another reason to leave school early for the draft as there wont be as much money to go around as previous seasons. College players will be advised to get in (the NFL) while the getting is still good. There are some players ( Clemson ) who I wish would still be on our team next season but it looks like waiting a year could cost them millions thanks to the NFL’s current run off the fans antics.
Most sponsorship and TV deals are already set for next season but if the NFL decides to keep up with their self inflicted crash dive then after that is anyone’s guess. Most of the rest of us aren’t the idiots that the NFL thinks we are, and that includes future players and agents.
Also sponsors could take the NFL to court for intentionally devaluing their product. Another reason why they refuse to acknowledge the real reason for losing their viewers.
