Georgia was missing a lot of players, although Daniel Harris came out of the portal and actually played most of the game in replacement of Kamari Lassiter. No question FSU was much harder hit by upperclassmen/starters injured or opting out, but they should be a bit concerned about what they have coming back IMO.

They should be more concerned if they leave the ACC and come to the SEC…😈
 
Not if those 85 were getting shellacked and fought their way to a 1-11 season playing against paid athletes. VN has already proven they won't support a losing PRODUCT.

And that's what would happen in a free market, when UT decided not to pay players.

And any system that COLLUDES to prevent or cap pay scale is a breach to anti-trust law.
Well yea, but we don’t play 85 walkons if the other teams don’t play 85 walkons.

And if our 85 walkons are beating their 85 walkons - people would fill the stadium.

The stadium would absolutely not be filled with 85 walkons vs 85 walkons, especially if the real football players were playing in another league.

And more importantly, ESPN would not pay hundreds of millions of dollars per year for 85 walkons vs 85 walkons. Quality of the product matters.
ESPN has nothing to do with it.

And yes, if the Tennessee Vols (of walkons) were undefeated and trouncing teams - people would fill the stadium.

That’s a lot of “Ifs”. I don’t see it being reality though. The college game continues to trend to a semi-pro level of sport.
Well of course it’s not reality.

The only point is that Tennessee fans would come out in droves for a winning Tennessee team, regardless of the caliber of player - as long as they were winning.
