Message: [QUOTE="uconndogs, post: 5186257, member: 57"] [I]Ryan Brewer, an associate professor of finance at Indiana University Columbus.[/I] There's a reason someone is an associate professor in finance... [I]actualize that potential and serve the greater university's initiative[/I] The greater university good, which presumably would have a great deal to do with the student body and student athletes, is not being served by big-time college athletics. This guys is probably so blinded by all of this he can't possibly see that. Sure, spin off these college football programs (and/or basketball for that matter) from their universities. The univesities get lisencing revenues (or some revenue stream) from the naming. The equity enjoyes the returns (or quite possibly not) from running these teams as professional sports franchises. Sure, I get the concept. But, what would that have to do with college athletics at it's core? Why would you need student athletes to be the participants? Now we're talking NFL super light. I would have to be real bored to tune in for that.....and I'm never that bored. [/QUOTE]
