Its easier to romantisize college sports without money, and that counts for something. But there is still going to be enough romance to go around. Much of that cheesy stuff Tim listed off will still exist even if you pay student athletes well past living wages.

Romanticizing the sport because it is played by “student-athletes” was gone by the wayside long ago because everyone knows that the best players already get paid.

The romance is found in the traditions such as the uniforms and the mascots and the songs.

The romance is not gone because kids get paid/cars, it's because the NCAA and individual schools make an insane amount of money off the kids' brands and they are pathetically compensated for it
