I think its quite smart.
It would help restore the idea of the playing fields of Eton vs the Roman Colosseum.

Amateur athletics for the sake of physical fitness and character development vs a public spectacle put on by paid gladiators.

Let them do it. The NCAA teams will whittle down within two years to twelve teams max.

I do agree...the colleges are raking in a fair amount of money.

Why is it stupid? Colleges are making huge sums of money off of 18-22 year olds, and the players are getting basically nothing out of the deal. Other than busted up bodies. What exactly do the players have to lose?
