Sugar Bowl Tickets $8 and the loss of NCAA players.

Colleges are not going to start paying football players beyond the stipend. Allowing players to make some money off name and likeness is about as far as it will go, but that won't help more than a handfull of players on each team.

UGA has a reputation for having a notoriously poor traveling fanbase. They struggled to sell out the SEC championship game during some of their appearances under Richt....

Bogus. UGA fans took over Notre Dame and sold out the Rose Bowl in '18. Unless your team is in one of the 3 CFP games, the bowls are more than meaningless and will eventually die on the vine unless they innovate. I vote to let early enrollees play in the bowls going forward. They are just glorified exhibition games.

Don't let all this bowl/non bowl discussion distract you from the fact that Georgia, yet again, didn't live up to the hype. 😄

I doubt the XFL survives, but what if it does and they start offering high school kids or NCAAF Fresh & Soph contracts?

The NCAA will have to start paying kids to survive

Gotta be careful. HS grad goes to XFL, which will fold. Then, that individual has lost amateur status and will have to wait 1-2 years before eligible to go to NFL because college football no longer an option.

If the XFL lasts long enough for HS grads to start going straight to it, then it probably won’t be in much danger of folding at that point.

The bowl games aren’t going anywhere. Espn makes a killing airing the bowls during a tv dead season when every other TV channel can’t draw one third of the viewership ESPN gets for the Bahamas Bowl. It’s no longer about who’s at the game, it’s the fact that a lot of people are watching at home and getting ad revenue. The xfl won’t end the ncaa, that’s funny to think about though.

I love how every year we get people complaining about free college football on their tv

Was able to watch the Texas Bowl and Cheezit Bowl yesterday and both were very good games. First SEC win of the season and watching Air Force frustrate the mad pirate was priceless. Always cheer for the service academies.

It isn't a given. But it could happen.
