They aren’t huge revenue generators for the university. At best, football progrums subsidize the rest of the athletic department with enough left over to make a token contribution to the university (token in the context of the scope of the overall university budget).

UNC set new levels of cheating. I don't think it's fair to say all schools cheat like UNC. Giving someone an undeserved grade bump is different than paying school employees to do the work for them.
I just don't care anymore. I don't care if the best player in the country has someone take his tests for him. The only reason he has to is because of this archaic system that we have. Any other sport he could just go be a pro at 18. Nah let's send them to "school" and pretend it's about the fight song and pride.
However these conferences end up shaking out, whatever 30-40 teams break away from the ncaa won’t have the school portion as a requirement anymore. I don’t know what it will look like but prolly the new minor leagues like I been saying.

If you have an enrollment of 35-40K or more like most of the Big Ten schools do, if 200 kids are there to just get by and play sports, the percentage is so small it shouldn’t even be a talking point
Well then they should just get rid of the schools all together and make new names for their teams and do a league then. Isn't the NFL against letting them go pro at 18 because they'll die? This isn't the NBA
Nah b, the nfl is against it because they don’t want to take the risk on even more draft busts. Imagine trying to project 17 year old 5 star Jared gaurantano at qb. Instead you can make the colleges take that risk and you get to scout 21 year old Jared gaurantano who obviously sucks and will never play any pro football of any kind.

Would almost make more sense to just create a developmental league and send legitimate prospects there, while kids who have very low NFL potential can go to play school and a lesser quality version of football.
Also wonder what this shifting landscape does to big boosters and donors.
I'm sure that's it
It’s more than just that but name one reason the owners or the nflpa would want high school grads eligible. There are none really. More job competition for players, harder to scout potential and more busts etc., not as nfl ready. They’d have to pay some of them and wait for them to mature. Guys that aren’t bo jackson or Adrian Peterson etc.

As long as Mizzou also gets punished for every new incident of this I think it's all gravy.
That's my point, it's not scouting, it is that they wouldn't be ready. They would have to pay players for at least 2-3 years without a chance of them playing unless they were freaks. Those are roster spots they don't have and money they don't want to spend. That's the reason.

I think it would be possible for those contracts to be reasonable enough to work, but I think the revenue generated for universities being lost could be rough for some schools(assuming doomsday scenario of minor league replacing cfb).
Not without an overhaul of roster rules and contracts. And it wouldn't affect schools at all so idk what that means. People are fans of the colleges not the players, if you let all the 18 year olds that want to go pro do so there will still be players playing at Illinois. The fans will still root for Illinois.
How much money would the Big XII have lost if Adrian Peterson went pro out of HS? $0?

No one wants to fund minor league football. Imagine if major CFB progrums had the same following as minor league baseball teams or the G-League - there would be no visibility. College football is this weird arbitrary combination of minor league football and universities that kind of works for both parties - talent discovery/refinement and (personal) brand development for the NFL, and athletic spectacle and (institutional) brand development for universities. If you strip the collegiate branding from the top teams, then you are very unlikely to see the current CFB fan base supporting that venture financially.

I watch so little football I though Paw was making up names with Jared Guantanamo
You must've forgotten his famed sighting at the Kings game

I think Cal will be okay. I'm sure they'd love to drop sports all together and focus on nerd shit.
