I'm a huge Colts fan and love football in general, and I can tell you that I would not be watching the NFL or the Colts if they replace them with a bunch of washed up, not quite good enough to make it the NFL players. It would be like watching college football (which I love), but with the players getting paid. The players ARE the league. Can they do it without the owners and their stadiums??? No. But what do the owners have without the best (or any) players??? Empty seats!!!!!!!!!
I can say that without a doubt if the next round of college boys came in to take the places of select positions that it wouldn't take long to make them household names. Some might not like it but a diehard fan would find something to like and before long they would be just as true to the sport as anyone.
Who can live without football, MMA, basketball, fishing or Nascar?? Not me! I can live without baseball....
