A lot to unpack here. How many pro teams could UGA or 'Bama beat: zero. The pros conditioning is out of this world, IMO. There are no classes to worry about, but workouts are extremely intense!!!
What happened to college athletics? Basically, the players got tired of the bull crap that the ADs, the presidents, and some of the coaches were feeding them and rightfully requested some of the $$'s that was being made from their hard work from tv and radio appearances, interviews, video games, etc.
How much are college coaches really worth?? Depends on the college coach, IMO .
Should they be the highest paid employees of the school?? Probably not.
Has this gotten out of control?? I really don't think so, because a lot has changed over the years. Players are becoming a lot more informed than they used to be, and now they are using their knowledge. That's a good thing, IMO.
Nobody wants to stop at conference championship, if they are being honest with themselves, IMO. Everyone wants to see how they look compared to someone else.
It's like asking me if I would be content to date women just in my own neighborhood. Not going to fly with me. I would rather take the chance to date a woman from anywhere as opposed to one in the immediate vicinity of where I live.
