The truth is that D1 football is far too much like NFL- and that isn't good.

I think part of what you say is what I meant by nostalgia, that is nostalgia for purer days when the game was much less about money and business and the players were less like pieces in a corporate enterprise. Now it's just the way it is, although of course on top of that there are specific scandals too.
