The State of College Football

I don’t think most of us care how much money athletes get, it’s the disruption of the roster that really stinks. Why support someone who isn’t invested.

 

Unfortunately most 17/18 year old kids don’t understand that.

 

THIS! Pure chaos and free markets. Financially break the (sad) system and force the NFL to create a minor league.

 

As long as 90,000 gator fans paid to get into the swamp, they will figure out how to make the damn thing float

 

We’ve had a bunch of games with less than 90k paid in the seats the last decade. We’ll see a lot more of those going forward, even before the capacity is decreased.

 

I believe capacity is below 90 already, but I agree we have a lot of games that are nowhere near capacity either. Even when the announced attendance says its close. They’re getting their money whether ticket purchasers show up or not though.

 

Schedule god games like this year and tix should sell.

 

Oh geez, we play Notre Dame, too?

 

Not if we play decent ball. The swamp was packed last year for a losing team, and the home schedule this year and next is incredible.

 

Yes, a good team playing interesting opponents will usually lead to bigger crowds.

I don’t expect us to be a good team. We will see, hope I’m wrong.

 

So do I, cautious optimism it is.

 

I think all of Gator Nation is "Cautiously Optimistic", but reserving a "fear factor" that UF, with this schedule, is also precariously
close to an ugly slide should Billy lose the Locker Room, Injuries, etc.

I am being honest and for those familiar with my Gator Football posting record I am "all in" on UF, but football can be a fickle partner.
Just ask the Philadelpha Eagles who started what? 11 - 1 only to finish like a helpless fawn in a river full of hungy Croc's last year,
not to mention UF's own end of the year struggles.

But Billy deserves some compliments on how he has handled the program after the Early Signing Day disappointment.
I happen to believe that if UF pulls off a winning season, the positive momentum and program improvement will really jump in
