I love what college football used to be decades ago.

FWIW, without a lot of these athletes, Colleges would be in financial hell.
And if players were bypassing college football to go pro, thats still only about 1% of college football athletes that eventually go pro. Do you just tell the other 99% "sorry, sucks to suck"? What about all the other athletic programs the football team pays for? Do you just get rid of all college athletics?
