Name some. Because from what I've seen, college sports are not money makers for schools.

And remember, if you're going to play football players, you have to pay scholarship athletes for every sport. It's just not something schools can afford.

Which is entirely besides the point that scholarship athletes already get enough as it is.


On topic: Im sure we'll be seeing more conferences backing out as they get a chance to meet about it. We'll probably see real schools playing in conferences like the "Pacific Conference" and "Southern Conference", etc.

Adam rittenberg suggested on the radio that as unified as the big 10 is, he couldnt see any scenerio that individual teams will stay, as far as the big 10 is concerned


So well......

Well, it looks like NCAA 14 is going to be my last NCAA game for a while. It's sad how money has completely ruined one of my favorite game franchises, but oh well. I guess that's an extra $60 for me next year.

Sadly, I think this is the end of an era. Removing the signature logos and conference names from the game will drive a lot of players away. Honestly, this takes a tremendous amount of authenticity out of the game. I don't know what to expect from here on out, but the future of this franchise looks pretty darn bleak from where I stand.

Maybe this will force EA to produce a better product with having to not rely on the NCAA and conference branding.

Just to name a few...

Alabama's athletic department made $124 million dollars last year, Texas' made $120 million, Ohio State made $116 million, Florida's made $106 million, and Tennessee made $101 million. Like I said, just do a little research and you will see where I'm coming from.

I won't get into the whole "college athletes already get paid enough in scholarships" nonsense, but I will note that there are a lot of people (myself included) who could argue that that is not at all true either.

Anyway, athletic departments make a lot of money (not all, but most D1 schools), and plenty enough to give each of their athletes 50-100 bucks a week to quell all of this stuff.

Agreed, it's only going to take one college to jump and that will kill it in my opinion.
