“The love of the game is not about the violence”

I will argue that the last 10-15 years or so it is all about money, period.

...at the high school and college level, it’s ‘all about the money, period’...?

At the professional level and for all but the players, I might agree. But I tell you, FRiend, for most of the players at the pro level, the work and dedication that it takes to stay competitive will weed out those in it for the money after a few short years. Most of those guys HAVE to still have some love for the game to do what they do. Many get out early when that love starts to wain. The Jeff Saturday's and Brett Favres of the world (for instance) loved the game.
