Message: [QUOTE="Col. Bleep, post: 2319941, member: 1023"] Right. College sports in cities without major league teams have a natural passionate fan base. Austin is a great example but it's now a fairly large city in terms of population. Look at places like Syracuse and Spokane and Boise and (yes) Louisville. But what we've seen unfold this week is just the tip of the iceberg. The major problem to reform is that there's SO much money involved...mostly TV $...that counters interest in cleaning things up. But there still may be a major upheaval. Maybe paying players and essentially making college teams even more of the "minor league" they are now. Maybe decoupling college teams from the college. Something's gotta give...especially as more schools, more people and more sports get exposed. [/QUOTE]
