Forget finance, let's put our marketing hats on. How much lower would gross revenue be if it was a sport of paid players? I think a lot less. The question everyone needs to be asking is, Would we still be packing stadia in 10 years if it was semi-pro football?
I think not, which is why I'll bet the NFL would LOVE to see college players get paid. A lot of borderline CFB fans would become pure NFL fans.
