What's this?

The end comes because $$$ will eventually

ruin the game as it does nearly everything else . Fans will grow weary of watching overpaid spoiled 18 year prima donas. Just as the pro sports are now hard to watch college sports seemed to be headed down the same road. College sports have already began a steady attendance decline in recent years and NIL will only serve to make that decline grow more rapidly .
