This could be interesting. I really hope if this new league makes it a year that the champs of this one and the alliance of American football play.

IF this league makes it and decides to take 18 yo's, college football would start to look a lot like college baseball.
Or force the ncaa to allow athletes to be paidQuote:

There is too much tradition and loyalty to college football. It would diminish it some, and certainly on a national level....but there would still be a lot of excitement and focus on college football without 1st & 2nd round talent playing for any of the teams.Quote:

For Lawrence, no. I'm sure some would be more than happy to not have to go to class and get paidQuote:

I wonder how the development would compare to college football. Assuming this new league has competent coaches, it could be better with no restrictions on practice time, contact with coaches, whatever
Not sure how many high-4 and 5-stars are in danger of qualifying these days, but this league could give them another route than juco
The NCAA's cash cow is the bb tournament, they really don't make $'s off of fb. The schools and conferences make money on FB, but he NCAA generates most of their income because they own the tournament. Most schools can't afford to pay the fb players and personally I think that this would cause NCAA to actually return to amateur status.Quote:
