    I'm only Renoing because two of the choices go hand in hand: the draft and salary cap. With a salary cap, there's a free market for talent but it's limited by a cap. You can't just buy the 53 best players in the league. Between that and the draft, there is a reasonably short runway for any team becoming championship caliber. It's easier to sit through a four-win season knowing that your team could follow it up by crushing it in the draft, buy a few stud players in free agency, and make a deep playoff run the following year. The NFL--and pro leagues in general--do an excellent job of creating parity to keep every fan base interested.

    In the past, that was the ONLY thing the NFL had going for it. Everything else tilted toward college. Even relatively recently, the wide open free market in college football did what such markets tend to do in their infancy: promote innovation and variety and competition and unexpected outcomes. What we're seeing now in college football is the inevitable endgame of unrestricted free markets: the rich eating the poor in a race to consolidate into duopolies then monopolies that can maximize profit margin in exchange for dwindling customer experience. In other words, the old NCAA football was Airtouch, where you could drunkenly crush your phone at 1:30am in a freak bar air hockey accident and they'd FedEx overnight you a new one at no charge. Modern football is Verizon, and the world would be a better place if every Verizon executive were trapped in a burning building and died slowly.

    Spot on pour man's @Tequilla !!

    The NFL product uses some socialism to save capitalism, and keep the fans believing in hope and change.

    College football has become the highest stage of robber baron capitalism.

    It comes down to parity, consistently hard fought, competitive games, and what 1to28831 said about the ability to turn a franchise around in short order.

    So yeah, the draft and the cap.

    And the ability to keep the regional rivalries.

    How the fuck did Nebraska end up in different conference than Oklahoma?

    tbh I’m probably going to enjoy watching this upcoming Chargers season way more than CFB.

    Few have disrespected Oregon more in the past than me on these boards. I used to like to remind @oregonblitzkrieg (RIP) of my partying on the 50 yard line Zero in 2002.


    But I like the Herbert story and seeing him do well in the NFL.
