It would become an NFL developmental league. Not College football. ** -- wwhokie1 05/17/2016 10:03AM Fans of excluded schools would be most likely to become NFL viewers. -- Byting Gobbler 05/16/2016 9:15PM Lost me at "fun little exercise" ** -- Maroon Baboon 05/16/2016 2:56PM Re: Stewart Mandel predicts a single 24-team mega conference in football -- 33laszlo99 05/16/2016 2:22PM Some truth to that, but I do feel contraction's a possibility. -- chuckd4vt 05/16/2016 2:49PM Football Season- Hurry up and get here- to relieve us of such fantasies- -- KnoxHokie 05/16/2016 1:40PM Not fantasy talk at all. MAJOR changes have been happening lately. -- chuckd4vt 05/16/2016 1:59PM That piece was pure fantasy -- ahokie4u 05/16/2016 10:21PM I disagree about the 24, but I do feel many schools will tap out. -- chuckd4vt 05/16/2016 10:35PM Like I said, such a league would be competing wiht NFL- -- KnoxHokie 05/16/2016 4:19PM But developing pro sports talent is what Us have been doing for decades. -- chuckd4vt 05/16/2016 10:20PM The trend is to add, not contract. We're up to how many bowls now? 40? -- HOO86 05/16/2016 1:23PM Think this paying of players will make it impossible for many to compete. -- chuckd4vt 05/16/2016 1:34PM They will all compete. Just puts Olympic Sports in jeopardy. -- HOO86 05/16/2016 1:45PM 24 is too extreme and loses too many markets. 36 or 48 maybe. ** -- jesuisvtguy 05/16/2016 1:17PM That's what I'm thinking. ** -- chuckd4vt 05/16/2016 1:25PM I could totally see something like this happening in 10 years. -- chuckd4vt 05/16/2016 1:14PM Those 24 would completely kill college football in the Northeast. -- Old Line Hokie 05/16/2016 11:44AM LOL! "As we all know..." -- daveinop 05/16/2016 11:21AM Preposterous for a lot of reasons, but here are a few. -- lawhokie 05/16/2016 11:06AM Disagree. Schools will choose if they wanna play in semi-pro leagues or not -- chuckd4vt 05/16/2016 1:53PM 24 will not work under any circumstance -- lawhokie 05/16/2016 9:34PM I think 24 is low too. Think we end up w/ 50 or 60 semi pro fb programs. -- chuckd4vt 05/16/2016 10:23PM Somewhere between 60 and 80 might work, but still contentious -- lawhokie 05/17/2016 08:20AM Think about private non-profit status and what it would cost to lose it -- daveinop 05/16/2016 5:58PM These programs are already turning a profit. ALL of them. -- chuckd4vt 05/16/2016 10:31PM They can, they are called for-profit colleges (University of Phoenix) -- daveinop 05/16/2016 11:12PM Like I said, these schools already make money from sports. -- chuckd4vt 05/17/2016 12:26AM Much of it has to do with the purpose of the activity, and that many are -- daveinop 05/17/2016 07:59AM Maybe a question that should be asked is "What's the endgame for TV -- VTHokie2000 05/16/2016 1:42PM Difference between Europe and NCAA WAS paying players. That's changing. ** -- chuckd4vt 05/16/2016 2:02PM In the grand scheme of things does that really matter or shape -- VTHokie2000 05/16/2016 2:52PM Not only possible, but likely IMO. What we have now is hardly amateurism. -- chuckd4vt 05/16/2016 3:07PM I believe the Olympic sports will be receiving stipends too -- VTHokie2000 05/16/2016 3:25PM IDK. Could see some schools fielding amateur fball teams w/ pro bball squad -- chuckd4vt 05/16/2016 10:40PM Would federal and/or state laws allow it? -- VTHokie2000 05/17/2016 02:22AM Why do you think it assumes the Big Ten would abandon its academic -- VTHokie2000 05/16/2016 1:12PM With or without VT... that outcome would be horrible. -- gman86 05/16/2016 10:50AM Would be interesting... -- VT_JustinGlass 05/16/2016 3:01PM No way Miami deserves to be in that group -- EDGEMAN 05/16/2016 2:22PM Regarding 3, I know dozens of Radford grads who watch VT on TV. ** -- chuckd4vt 05/16/2016 2:05PM Apples and oranges -- mrcaniac 05/16/2016 2:55PM ACC would be a power in that 'Second" conference. ** -- Old Line Hokie 05/16/2016 11:31AM Using his NFL Sunday package example, imagine how less popular -- Colonel Jessup 05/16/2016 10:27AMTech Sideline is Presented By:
