Is the NFL the savior of college football? An unlikely solution to a broken system, according to Josh Pate. In a recent episode of his show, Pate makes a shocking argument: if the College Football Association (CFA) can't fix its problems, perhaps the NFL should step in. This bold statement comes from a man who's typically a vocal supporter of college football's superiority over the NFL. But with the CFA's leadership vacuum and the sport's current chaos, Pate suggests the NFL might be the only option. He explains that the NFL benefits greatly from college football, which acts as its minor league. If the situation affects the NFL's bottom line, they'll have no choice but to intervene. While Pate doesn't advocate for a pro model, he sees potential in the NFL's expertise in media rights pooling, which could help the CFA address eligibility issues. Despite the controversy, Pate invites discussion on this unconventional idea, asking: if the NFL can help, should we accept their assistance? The question remains: can the NFL save college football, or will it be a case of 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'?
