That means college football would only be played by individuals who: A) weren't good enough to make a paid farm system, or B) truly wanted the education, or C) Felt they had a better path to the NFL through college, for whatever reason.

If the best athletes no longer pursued the college route to get to the NFL, would you still tune in and root just as hard for VT? While the talent would be less spectacular, it should equal the playing field as the 4 and 5 star talent likely wouldn't go to BAMA anymore. They'd choose the farm system as there'd be immediate money, training, competition, and no educational distractions. The farm league would consist of maybe 20 teams, comprised of all the 4 and 5 stars.
