Slap Fight About Paying Players

If the NCAA could suddenly mandate that eligibility for college football would require a score of at least 1200 on the SAT (or equivalent ACT), or ended athletic scholorships entirely, fan interest in the games would not diminish one bit. In fact interest would probably increase because fans would see them as legit representatives of the university. Fans care about which TEAMS win, not who is playing. If, under this new requirement for ALL TEAMS, Miami is beating FSU and winning championships, do you care if it is with player X instead of player Y?

Idiocy and nonsense taken to a new level. Breathtakingly ignorant. Wow!

By comparison Bama-AU, which featured two top 10 squads got a 7.6!!!!

And if both teams were ranked in the top 10 with a roster full of walk-ons they would've gotten a......7.6 rating.

Don’t get how you take this job over a LSU offer last year

FSU wasn't 5-6 with rats fleeing the sinking ship last year.

He probably didn’t know the full extent of his wife’s (his Ex wife presently) ahhhh “extracurricular activities”, lol. ****, he had 2 leave town this time. I hear ol girl was slinging it around Tally like it was going outta style.

His post is absolutely correct.

Answer this.

In 10 years when Miami plays Florida State, will you be watching?

If yes then you don't care who the players are as long as they're wearing your school's colors.

His post is absolute insanity and not correct. If it were the Ivy League would have the richest contract, they don’t.

You mentioned earlier that 90,000 people showed up for the UF/FSU game when you know that’s not true. How many actual people do you think were in the stands for what is historically both schools biggest game of the year?

I see your limited mind was unable to formulate an actual response.

Breathtakingly ignorant does imply that you blew me away and left me with no words. LOL.

Not surprised you missed that my point was that the caring among fans in cfb is about TEAMS, not specific players. Princeton and Columbia do not have fans that care that much whether they win or not. If Auburn were fielding a team with 180 pound offensive linemen against an Alabama team with the same size players, they would have the same reasons for rooting and the same thrill with winning, because they care that their team wins, NOT who they're winning with.

You’re conflating your points with literary phlegm. Not surprising, because you believe that viewership is constant. No one cares about a ****** product. Except you and of course the imaginary Alabama and Auburn fans. “War Tide!” Plenty of TEAMS put a ****** product out that is rightfully consumed in lesser amounts.

I get it, you’re dying to be wrong, so you’re digging the hole and these posts are nothing but a pathetic self eulogy.

Now if Dabo goes to NFL after we cane his a$$$ tomorrow, everything will be hysterical.

And they'd still watch if the coaches were picked off the streets right before the game - what's your point?

If your argument here is that the product on the field is largely irrelevant then the money being given to these coaches is beyond excessive. Their compensation should be more in line with professors in that case.

89,066 to be exact.

Money in the pocket of the UF athletic department to watch two scrub teams.

Who cares how many people were in the stands? We're talking about financial value and/or revenue in this thread.

No, they're the ones who get paid big bucks because they're the ones who drive everything else.

The players, individually, are largely irrelevant.

How on EARTH would a roster full of walkons be top ten teams LMFAO you have gone full ******.

Jagr’s belief for years is that gold teeth turnoverchain loving dudes shouldnt be allowed to represent a university.

 

[Oicu812]

In your mind you believe that literally picking any 85 kids and putting twm in uniform will generate money. It wont.

Of course it will.

The NFL, which has far less ingrained emotional support from it's fans than colleges do, hired replacement players and broke the union.

If Alabama and Tennessee were forced to suit up 85 walk-ons who played high school football but weren't offered scholarships they'd get 100,000 people to turn out.

I'm now convinced,.. Some of us posters in these here forums,.. Are complete morons!!


Let me tell you about a fan base who isn't alumni!! I don't have that argument,.. Or connection to the school,.. Just my love for all things canes! If you suit up 85 bodies,..just to fill a roster, I won't buy ****!!! I like watching smashmouth football!! I like seeing a portion of the best athletes the local high schools produce, put it on the line, against someone else's "best"!!

If I can't have football, the way I want my football,... Ill spend my money in the ocean....fishing 30-60 miles offshore doesn't come cheap!!

Once again failing to see the point completely.

Yes, WE will be watching.

But if the teams suck, the country wont be watching, as was the case when UF played FSU this year.

If the team sucks, ratings go down, and networks pay less.

Better players means the team wont suck.

Go ahead and connect the dots, Jagr.

What if in 10 years somehow legislation and other unseen events happens where the NCAA is abolished and the NFL is forced to finally start up a semi minor league system to cultivate their players...

Would you still watch Miami vs Florida St?? I mean you really have zero clue who the **** the QB RB WR LBs etc are? You just know you hate Florida St and want bragging rights?

Do you watch College Football because it is a minor league for the NFL? or do you like College football because it is your school you graduated from or have rooted for years
