Between the legitimate issues with health concerns and liability, and the opportunistic grab for the big bucks by some of the players, CFB is in real jeopardy of not only losing a single season, but being severely and permanently damaged by a few greedy players and some ass hole media types with an axe to grind. If I hear one more "pundit" going on about the "plantation" system in CFB, I'll phuking puke. If these ass hats want to destroy the best thing that's ever happened to some of these kids, so be it - phukem.
Just do away with athletic scholarships altogether, recruit exclusively from the existing student body, and let the ones who never cracked a book until they got tutored to within an inch of their phuking lives fend for themselves. We can all go back to Ivy League level CFB and the poor exploited kids who can barely spell their own names can pursue other endeavors more suited to their actual abilities. To paraphrase the Bard: "How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless, greedy "student" athlete." Let them go play minor league FB with the hope of duplicating the advantages of a 4 year degree and the development that can only be derived from the major CFB experience. I say again, phukem.
