Kansas State University's football coach admitted that the goals of college football have changed, just hours before a landscape-altering vote allowing the largest and most profitable conferences in the sport to essentially write their own rules.

Noting the impact of television and the dollars it has brought to the sport, Bill Snyder, 74, said that the priorities of the sport no longer reflect what he came to understand them to be when he first started coaching at KSU in 1989:

"It's changed. I mean, college athletics, football in particular, has changed dramatically over the years," Snyder said. "I think we've sold out. We're all about dollars and cents. The concept of college football no longer has any bearing on the quality of the person, the quality of students. Universities are selling themselves out."

Snyder's comments came just hours before a vote by the NCAA board of directors which allowed the NCAA's "power five" conferences, the ACC, SEC, Big 10, Pac 12 and Big 12 (to which KSU belongs) to write their own rules without input from other NCAA schools.
