There are a lot of factors killing college football, but the glaring factor is hypocrisy. You said it. Money. The idea of paying athletes who are supposed to be getting a college education instead is now laughable. Just do away with the hypocrisy by having collegiate farm teams in all sports. No one has to learn anything. No one has to attend class. No one has to take an entrance exam. Just pay the farm team to play and be done with this lunacy. And, yes, we all know over the decades complete illiterates have played the sport while being enrolled in college and moving on to pro sports while still completely illiterate. Dexter Manley comes to mind. A University of Arkansas football running back sued the university back in the day because they taught him nothing. Can't recall his name. Just remember the NCAA killed the Pony Express back in the day for paying their players. Now? Hypocrisy.
