Could this end the NCAA?

I agree with Freeport Panther.

If the schools stay under the NCAA or break away, it really doesn't matter.

As time goes by, more fanboys will put their pom poms aside and wake up to reality of minor league football.

And just like minor league baseball and basketball, there is less interest, less revenue, less TV, etc.

The unintended consequence will be more college fanboys realizing that if they want to watch professional football, why not watch the best?

I truly believe the NFL sees this entire mess as a financial bonanza for the Owners and the status of the league, as if it needs any more.

I don't know man, college football is massively popular. I know this is going back many decades at this point, but it was traditionally more popular than pro football. I think if the NFL owners are smart, they do something to crush it.

You got to remember, college football has always been the minor league for the NFL, it's not a new minor league all of a sudden. And the beauty of it as their minor league is that they didn't have to pay a penny for it. In contrast, MLB owners have to foot the bill for minor league baseball. If college football becomes a competing pro league, that is a threat to the NFL.
