Capitalism is the best economic system humanity has yet to invent, but the downfall of CFB is an example of the downside of it. When a bunch of money gets involved in something, that thing tends to get ruined.

Exactly this. It wasnt that long ago that the university didnt charge for parking or tailgating. The stadium wasnt blasting advertisements in your face the entire game. Not every game was on TV and if they were, they werent 5 hours long due to commercials. The university presidents and athletic administrations made themselves rich on the backs on football. You cant exactly force amateurism on players when the university is squeezing every dollar they can out of the average Joe fan on the backs of the players
