I haven't been to a college football game since OSU and UF played in the Taxslayer Bowl the year before Meyer took over. Just got fed up with the type of people who go to the games to get drunk and make a$$es of themselves. It's not worth the expense or frustration.
I hope and pray that college football gets to the point where HS players are allowed to sign, skip college and go straight into a minor league NFL farm system. Let the "superstars" who are pissed about attending college for free go through the same pain and frustration as most minor-league baseball prospects.
Then they can labor in places like Stuebenville or Schenectady. They'll be able to get a good hard taste of what it's like to play in front of 300-400 people and never see a TV camera. Maybe that would wake up an entire generation of know-nothing knuckleheads who think they're God's gift to football.
Conversely, it would open up the game and the scholarships to kids who are actually smart enough to attend college and have a true desire to earn a degree. It would mean the game could once again be played by student-athletes.
And for those who would insist, "Well, you better be ready to watch players on Saturdays that are only half as good as what could be out there, I'd reply, "Sounds good to me. I've been waiting for years to watch players who can stay out of jail and actually manage to put a full sentence together."
