I've read your previous posts in this thread. Way to introduce yourself to the board and show everyone right away that you know next to nothing as far FB knowledge goes. Minor leagues? LMFAO. That's the worst description of CFB that I've ever heard of.
"I need to go to a college football game the same what I need to say a AAA baseball game"
What are you talking about bro?
Minor league is for people that don't make it to the pros.
So Peyton Manning wasn't accurate while at UT? What about Barry Sanders, yeah he was nothing to see in College. Larry Fitzgerald? nothin. Sean Taylor? Nope. AD. Nah he wasn't a beast. Bo? He was just plain slow. Percy Harvin? waaay slow in college. Ray Rice? ahhh he only rushed for 2000 yds ONCE in his college career, slow.
I thought you had to be at least 16 years old to post on C-D? I think you are violating the TOS.

I am posting in this thread because the north is being bashed because people say they don't have enough talent. I am trying to tell everyone that people here don't care, noone is into college football here or cares about it. In the north college football takes a back seat to pro.
My point is that going a AAA baseball game and a college football game is the same thing. Both are minor leagues.
The players that you mentioned are good, but that is ONE player. What about the other 21 on the field?
For example there are how many college football teams. Around 120? Out of 120 QB's, maybe 10 make the NFL. Therefore, 110 of them are minor league players. I will pass, the talent level is too depleted.
That's in reference to level of play not popularity.
I love college football but as far as top tier college athletes it is what it is, a feeder system for the pros. I don't know how anyone can argue this, especially for football factories.
Because the North spawned the NFL and focus was on the drama of NFL championship and later Super Bowl, you can understand how people just don't get crazy for the mythical national championship in NCAA
------" going a AAA baseball game and a college football game is the same thing :--
Your opinion, but not shared by most.
If your opinion was true, minor league stadiums would hold over 60,000 people and have their games televised on ESPN, ESPN2,ABC, and CBS.
Heck, hard to get the minor league scores unless one subscribes to the hometown newspaper where they are located.
I don't care if 1 million people are in the stadium.
The players have lower speed, agility, acceleration, power and weigh less in pros.
I can't wait to see Tim Tebow throw a pass into a NFL (PRO) defense. He was big at the minor league level, won't make it in the pros. There is a perfect example.
SImply because football is the biggest sport. Many show up for minor league basketball games, hockey games and baseball games by the thousands.

Cultural gap fuels the disparity, nuff said.
Exactly, my point. If people like it, more power to them.
This may have been already pointed out but I don't have time to search the entire thread. I heard one of the talking heads explain it this way and it makes sense to me.
Defense wins championships and most (not all) of the best defensive players would rather go to school in the south. Better weather, more partying (is Floridia not listed as the number one school for partying) and the coeds aren't covered up like eskimos. He pointed out that that is why Urban Meyer went to Floridia and not Notre Dame.
A couple years ago, a small junior college in northen Minnesota had a great football team and most of the players were from Florida.
When they started to act like thugs in the dorms and in the town and were getting arrested, locals started to complain.
Minneapolis newspapers and tv stations started investigating and discovered this jc was recruiting high schoolers who no other major college ( or no other JC ) would take cuz of their academic record.
The story got so bizzare ( some barely got their HS diploma ) that the college president shut down the football program and eliminated it.
Seems even Florida guys who couldn't get into college anyplace else, could still produce winning records on the football field.
