6. I agree Botany, time to tax the boosters donations and put an end
to big contributions. If state colleges are to get state funds then boosters should not be able to contribute to athletics but to the college as a whole. I'm sick of the whole thing, college football was always about rules, structure and heart, now it's just an extension of the NFL. Players should be required to get a degree or pay back every cent of the scholarships plus a default fee so that college football isn't just a 2 year spring-board into the NFL. The NFL should have caps for any college student leaving college to join the NFL early and the bigger salaries should go to the students who stayed for four years. The whole idea that sports is bigger money than academics has always been a sign of our ignorant times anyway.
