It's been a long long time, and maybe never since I've been this down on college football as I am right now. Season ticket holder since 1986, and love all LSU athletics. The game that we all love is now over. Maybe not this coming season, but very soon. The NIL money uncontrolled will end many fans passion for the sport. The transfer rule alone will end many fans passion for the game. The silence from the coaches afraid of being labeled disgust me. Now we really know that so call fatherly figure Nick Saban is a fraud. He damn well knows that the game is over for many. His silence is the very worst admission that a man with as much money as he has is afraid to speak out. I cannot believe a high school senior, or a transfer athlete can receive an unlimited amount of money from any business , or booster.

The other reason I'm completely fed up is the lack of loyalty to the state of Louisiana by some of the very best athletes in our state. Do you ever hear of the top recruits of Alabama coming to LSU? It happens in Louisiana every year One ,two, three, sometime four players will sign with Saban. These players are directly responsible for helping Bama win championships. I've seen Bama have holes in their roster that are fill will freshman from Louisiana. They can all piss off. I wish the very worst careers for these players. I hope they never return to our state. Anyway, I've said way too much, and it looks like I am done with season tickets unless I hear something positive from Mark Emmert very soon.

100%

A program that doesn't deserve the amount of success they've had.

I lost my love of the NFL with free agency.

I fear that my interest will eventually fade with the college game now as well.

Learn to adjust to possibly having to bid to keep Boutte from transferring! This is complete bullsh--. I cannot be a fan of 18 -21 year old pups demanding more money each year. It's crazy, nuts, ludicrous. F--kem.

Where was this outrage when facility spending and coaching salaries were going through the roof??

Now that the players are getting theirs, all of a sudden it’s disgusting

Were you ok with coaches demanding more money each contract renewal? TV contract renewals?

Why not the players?

I think some standardization, structure, and possibly some cap limits will be needed, but I am certainly for the players getting a piece of the value chain of college football.

Luckily I don’t think they limit the amount of times you can cry about it on this website. So enjoy

Being positive and realistic aren’t exclusive.

I love LSU and love college sports and I hate the NIL and above board "cheating". I do think unchecked this is the first step towards what we know now as cfb being gone. Widening the gap between the top 10 teams and kids just wanting to use football to get an education because they aren't NFL talent.

We're closing in on officially being just a farm system for the pros. How this all works out is going to be interesting. Compliance as far as grades may have just become obsolete. Can we pay someone to take exams?
