No. College sports are already too much like professional leagues.

Maybe that's b/c college sports are meant to prepare people for professional leagues?

Hmmm.... yup, that just might be it

The percentage of college athletes who go onto the pros is very, very, very small.

But the reason that college sports exist is to train athletes to go into professional sports, and to find which ones will be the most successful, regardless of whether 1 person goes or 1,000 people go.

My goodness you are misguided. That has nothing to do with why college sports exist.

Of course. Instead of all the silly bowls there should be a bracket system like in college basketball. One game a week for each team, you win you advance you lose to go home.

NBA, NHL, and MLB have the best system for truly choosing the best team (even if 7 games is a bit overboard) because you are playing multiple games but football would and should never go that far.

You're right, training athletes for professional sports isn't the only reason college sports exist. They also exist b/c there's a great market for it, so it makes money. They also exist b/c a lot of people enjoy watching it. And, they also exist b/c it gives some people who wouldn't have the chance to go to college without sports an opportunity of a lifetime.

But you make no sense if you think that professional sports have nothing to do with why college sports exist.
