WTF?
One business - as you point out the NFL essentially is- is acting in its self interest. So, not socialist. Look at the NFL as 32 branches of one company. The company sets the rules that benefit the company. Some branches might not do as well as others, but they all understand their place in the grand scheme of things.
But essentially we agree in that the college game is leaderless, fragmented, and eating itself alive. The college game could learn a lot from the NFL model.
Plus, in socialism, none of the workers are among the 1% of wealthiest people in the country.
