   No, we won't. I should know better than to argue this with you, as your mind   
   is made up, but...   
      
   (a) If only "big money college football" should exist, then explain why   
   Division II schools didn't stop playing decades ago. It has nothing to do with   
   TV money, especially after the Supreme Court's decision that the NCAA cannot   
   control TV contracts means    
   that any guaranteed money Division II got out of it went out the window.   
      
   (b) Having a system of lower-level teams, each one of which is tied to a major   
   league team, and allowing drafting out of high school will result in the end   
   of all scholarship-level collegiate play in that sport? Gee, I guess I'll go   
   tell pretty much    
   every Division I baseball program in the country - all 306 of them - that they   
   should have went out of business decades ago.
