[mcsbhxrc] Minor league football and basketball

It is curious that men's college basketball and football (and to some extent hockey) are essentially minor leagues, but they are immensely popular in comparison to minor league baseball.  Why?  Many people follow them despite not having an alumni allegiance.

Would bad things happen if professional minor league teams were allowed to compete against and along side the college teams?  (Cynically, this is already happening with athletic boosters.)  Perhaps populated by those out of college but who did not make the cut into major league.

There might be highschoolers who go directly into professional minor leagues.
