Until they come up with a form of revenue sharing at the D1 level this system is going to have huge problems.  The greed is insane and the root cause of most of problems in College Football.  What is in maddening is that there is more than enough money to go around.  Compensation packages in the millions for leaders of programs that (claim) they don't make money is just plain stupid.  If the NCAA started making decisions and rules that put student education and class time above everything else, I would be the first to speak out against student athletes getting paid.  If your team is playing a Wednesday night in the next time zone (500 to 1000 miles away) how can you look me with a straight face any tell they are "student athletes" and their education comes first?

Ahhhh, the first annual off-season topics and the big game is yet to be played.  Guess helmet stickers, uniform talk, conference realignment , etc... will soon follow.

Speaking of helmets, what are those poor guys at The Helmet Project doing?  With almost every team trotting out a new helmet every game, they must be some of the busiest people in college football.

I am alarmed by the look of our socks and shoes.
