There are a lot of angles on this. I think less than a half dozen football teams actually turn a profit. So if this meant more money was being sucked out of the university to pay athletes then that is pretty chappy. Also of note is college football is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the cable sports bubble that will come crashing down one day and leave these football programs with even less money. Another thing to not lose sight of is so few of these players actually go on to pro football, so they should be taking advantage of the opportunity to go to college.
