that we can not have college amateur athletics anymore. It used to be so much fun to pull for the players who were OUR team. Now the major sports will be professional players who are just looking for a payday. The more I think about it - the more I see my fan days are over. It really doesn't matter who wins anymore. I see it is now starting to enter the High School level as well. Sports is really about entertaining the common people. Much like the Romans did with the Coliseum. The more things change the more they remain the same - lol! When UK fails now it is not about having the best team anymore- it is about having the team with the most money behind it.
Western, Eastern, Murray and Morehead will be the legitimate college teams - and their best players will be poached by the big teams every year. But what could happen is that college football may die as a sport. Think about it - how are the teams that are being poached really going to survive in the future. Those schools have to be looking at losing their fan base and their major income stream. How many paydays can they get from Ohio State and Kentucky? Will it be enough to keep their programs going? Some kind of decent plan for everyone better show up soon - or it will be over!
Go Big Blue! Because thats what I grew up with and I know!
