At the risk of sounding like an old fogey...

You don't win in the long term by alienating the customer. Short term maybe the universities are happy. When stadiums are half empty and tv revenues shrink we'll see who's happy.

Let me know when that happens. As far as a general product, I could make the case that people will continue to watch on TV, while in-person attendance might decline a little more. Plus, I could also convince myself that the coaches are overpaid and deserve to have to recruit year-round.

I think we at MSU are convinced the system is shlt, because it doesn't benefit us. But many of the big boys have never been happier.

You be surprised how many boosters and supporters feel this way.

“I am not about to donate tens of thousands of dollars to a collective so our star running back can go out and buy himself a Porsche and then drive it off next year to Tuscaloosa or Baton Rouge for a better deal.”

No, not surprised.
