Really? Do you think the NCAA has a deeper concern for the well-being of the players and their families than the money hounds of the NCAA?

The NCAA is an organization of members. The Big Ten could pull out at any time if it wanted. Same goes for the SEC, XII, etc.

And I think they will - but not without a replacement organization.

Sorry, i worded that like a fast typing clown. The lack of brain to finger control I think is what also Badge is trying to red flag as well. What I was trying to say is I believe coaches have a greater care and concern for the athletes and their families than the people that make up the NCAA. I was most specifically pointing out the board of governors and the executive committee, but my brain and fingers were seeing if I could throw slop into the message and test if you guys could decode that nonsense.

many and most coaches seem to be money hounds that will leave the players at the drop of a hat filled with millions

I know I would.

It's a business.  I would have left my job for "millions" (aside from the situation with my kids).

Money and great healthcare and insurance can change everything. My wife proved that with incredible healthcare connections and great insurance last year. I've seen too many miserable wealthy people to be convinced money solves the rest, but not enough money certainly stings in many situations. My fear is that if I had 70 million, I might be a worthless person not contributing to the world and sitting on a beach all day.

not speakin for anyone else...

I have 2 daughters and an ex-wife - with an opportunity at a job that paid 20 million, all 3 of them would have encouraged me to take the job.

Ya for sure the networks wonks and Universiy heads have whored them selves out.These additional games for the CFB PO won't necessarily give us the best teams.Just the ones that had less kids sit.Most of these kids with sunday aspirations will be sitting and I don't blame them.Adding more games benefits the fatcats not the kids who just face more chances of getting hurt.Hell Jaylen Smith and Jake Butt just 6-7 yrs ago both projected 1st rounders go out on stretchers during their last College Bowl games - just shameless greed for no real good reason except to line their own pockets
