We ponder the hypothetical scenario of a football world without the NFL and its potential effects on college football. Would the dynamics of CFB shift drastically? Let’s explore this intriguing concept…
Summary
- No pro football, no early draft exits.
- College football might just be a club sport.
- Potential formation of a CFB super league.
- The uncertain fate of CFB in the absence of the NFL.
Insights on NFL’s Impact
One Redditor highlights the misconception that regional football focus determines college success. It’s more about recruiting your local talent pool. Eliminating the NFL wouldn’t automatically boost football talent in less prominent areas.
College Football Transformation
Speculations arise about CFB shifting to a club or intramural level sans the NFL. This could see basketball taking the lead in college sports, with baseball and soccer gaining prominence.
Rethinking National Championships
Discussions touch on how the absence of the NFL might affect scheduling, like national championship games no longer monopolizing Monday nights.
The Unpredictable Future
Debates whether CFB would thrive without the NFL ensue, with arguments suggesting an inevitable professional league due to the financial incentives in showcasing top college talent post-graduation.
Considerations are made about regions like Detroit, where pro football presence has been limited, indicating that certain college football powerhouses may remain largely unaffected by the absence of the NFL.
