D1 college football is rapidly becoming a question of which booster programs can raise enough to buy the best players. There has always been a class system, but it will now collapse into a game in which no more than ten programs will be competitive. And none of the elite programs will even pretend that the players are students. That battle was lost years ago.

Turn all college sports back into club programs. The pros can run their own farm teams.
Agreed.
That ain’t new. Been that way for a long time
I’ve been saying that for a few years now...couldn’t agree more. Let the major leagues pay for their own minor leagues. Baseball does it, let football and basketball do the same.
Nailed it.
And the idiots in the NCAA will be astonished.
If this means setting up a system so full-time students play on college teams, yeah.
College sports should reflect authentic students on campus.
If a historically black college were to field a basketball team with 90 percent white players that would seem unusual to me but I don't know why.

This is all college athletics now.
Disgusting change in my opinion .
Public funded universities shouldn’t be providing platforms for college kids to make millions playing a game .
It erupt in a huge scandal.
I agree.
Tear it down and have it all be club sports.
But that’s even hard as high school kids now are being paid to transfer high schools.
Kids should be making pizzas and doing other work in high school.
‘Turn all college sports back into club programs.’
except college football was a big time money maker long before anyone dreamed of playing the game on the mercenary level...
