...that there athletes will no longer be students at all, but merely employees who have nothing to do with what a university is for. How far does this go? Does it become ludicrous where players are traded or have their "contract" sold for cash and a player to be named later? I'm sure the networks have an idea of what they want and are flexing their muscles directing conference "realignment" (the Pac-10 is clearly not part of it). And we are definately seeing what people like Saban want. As to the end game? Good question, but I am sure I will have lost interest long beforehand.
