Excitement & desire to follow Tennessee football this coming season?
I'm all for reasonable amount given to athletes but the unlimited amount just ruins the feeling of college sports going forward. Turns it into who has the most money & best marketing programs for players
The exact problem that collective bargaining could help mitigate. The problem being that all of the programs you listed are in areas where CBAs are scoffed at as corrupt ….. or whatever those DHs sayThis def opens up Pandora’s box as to what college football will look like in 5 years it’s going to get real slimy and sleazy no doubt and I expect the rich to get richer such as Bama, Ohio St, Clemson and the Georgia’s of the world.
I marvel at the denial that many seem to be in about this. Whether it’s creative Pell Grants or under the table, it’s been happening since at least the 80s and probably longer.Players have always gotten paid. The only difference is now people no longer have to pretend they don't. As for the OP's question, I'd say the last 12 years of crappy football has lessened my excitement for the upcoming season more than players getting paid.
How is this any different than it ever was?Excitement & desire to follow Tennessee football this coming season?
