College football should have stayed one platoon, (limited substitution). Everyone who played or coached in that era thought it was a better game. ben Schwartzwalder used to have traveling squads of three dozen players. Players playing both ways have a better chance of making the NFL because they show what they can do on both sides of the ball. Some the NFL's best defenders in the 60's when I started watching them were more famous as offensive players in college. As one post here says, college is about creating possibilities, not limiting them. Linemen would have ben 250 pounds instead of 300 or even 350, which isn't healthy. The sport would cost much less but be just as popular. Under Title IX, the football team would not be mathematical dead weight for the men, (because of no female equivalent). That might save some of the men's Olympic sports.

I know that's not going to happen but it could be done if you set a future year as the conversion date and it be a good thing to do. let the NFL specialize players.

Even at that, they say 52 layer play in an average game under the current rules. Do we need 85 scholarships? 100 man rosters?
