New York Giants and Notre Dame Fighting Irish legend Justin Tuck, a two-time Super Bowl champion, believes the decimation of the Pac-12 is just the beginning, though. "I don’t know if it’s necessarily the Pac-12, or if this is the start of what’s ultimately going to happen with football," Tuck told Fox News Digital at a promotional event on Sunday. "I do think we’re forging a path, if that’s the right phrase, to this super league future with the employment of NIL and so on and so forth.
It’s going to start look more and more like professional football."
