Goodell asked about his, league's role in CFB

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was asked about whether he and the league could help fix college football during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" Friday and Goodell said, "Who's in control? Is it the NCAA or conferences?” Goodell: “I don’t know enough about it, but if anybody asks us for help, we’re going to do our best." He added players are “staying in college football because they’re getting paid.” Goodell: “I don't think that's a bad thing. I love college football. I watch it all day. They make stars of our players. They give them a platform and get them ready physically and mentally. I think it works.” Goodell noted that he has a meeting with college football leaders in the next week and said they “want to try to help.” However, when asked if the NFL could absorb college football and bundle the entities together Goodell said, “I don't see that. At least today. I don't see that in the future” (“The Pat McAfee Show,” ESPN, 4/26).
