Key. It detracts from the enjoyment, doesn't it? This aspect is analogous to what I said about the Olympics but from a different angle. Instead of "team spirit" and "school loyalty", substitute "joy of sport" or "pursuit of excellence". There is still that, of course, but you get the feeling that the best ones are there for "cashing in" and that detracts.
Well, I do want to enjoy college football, regardless. I am ready to move on from the topic of paid athletes if you guys are.
