Try to post less of your theories

Some of these so-called fans need to get a fricking life.
Since before WWII, players have been wanting to get paid, now they are getting paid.
If you don't like it, don't watch it, watch Tractor Pull, or Tobacco Spitting or Cornholing.
So a free education isn’t worth anything to so called athletes. Must be why so many are broke bums after Playing days are over

Other than the obligatory "Support Our Troops" idolatry, is there some other reason you say this?

We are watching the not so slow death of college football, like it or not.

Or, perhaps we’re literally living in the ncaa twilight zone, when:
1. Players can literally transfer to any school, including schools within their own conference, with 0 penalty and immediate eligibility

2A.You have Ta&m already signing 15 of the top 100 players (and they’re not done yet!), to go play for Jimbo?!
3. You have teams like Indiana and Missouri out recruiting LSU?!
How long can this current state of affairs last before the former great sport of college football implodes? Do the current ncaa powers to be actually think this is sustainable?
I'll answer each bullet point:
1) They can only freely transfer once. This is year 1 so you are seeing more than we will probably see in a typical year. I feel like once it settles down the transfers will mostly be kids that signed with schools for NIL money and arent playing as 2nd or 3rd year players and G5 guys like Miles Frazier that had great years and want to boost their stock by moving up in competition.
2) Every team is allowed to use NIL deals so I don't see how this is that much of an issue. Also the NCAA will start to put rules in place as issues become clear in the next few years.
2A) Oil money goes a long way. Like I said in part 1, a ot of these kids will transfer out once they fail to secure PT.
3) LSU is in the middle of a complete coaching overhaul and did not have their ducks in a row with the NIL stuff. LSU will be back in the mix starting next year.
The sport will not implode, the transfer portal is the great equalizer. half the kids that sign with the NIL super schools will transfer when they don't get PT. The NCAA will obviously put some rules in place eventually once they see how the dust settles.

No, the inmates just asked for better treatment and the asylum overreacted to the 10th degree!!!!!

The interesting thing is the players aren't getting a piece of the multi-million dollar college football industry they are getting part of a whole new (at least new on the legal side) industry. The NCAA figured out a way for the players to get paid without giving up any of their money or the college's money. The colleges, however, may certainly see a reduction in booster payments that are now going to the players through a different version of bagmen.

Nope. They were playing because they liked the game and for the university. They get plenty of money by way of scholarships, housing, food, health care, etc. Plus, they have doors open for them just because they played a sport in college. A lot of these guys may not even be going to college if not for the university giving them the opportunity to play a sport

Yes, because, overall they're stupid and remain that way until they are about 26
To be fair, the vast majority of people over 26 are horribly dumb as well.
I get all the arguments against the new system but, at the end of the day, there was something fundamentally unjust about people making billions off the talents of 18-21 year olds while also actively suppressing their ability to make money off that talent.

Imagine signing with a coach who is not only a loser but a quitter

I'm trying to figure out who the "inmates" are supposed to be.
Crazy rich boosters?
ESPN executives and Mouse shareholders?
Jimmy Sexton and the 2 or 3 other agents who con university presidents and boardmembers into paying mediocre football coaches whatever the frick they demand?
Players didn't create this storm.

18-22 year olds should not be in charge of anything.

Why not? And what do you think they're in charge of?

Perhaps if LSU would stop sabotaging their own football program from within morale might pick up just a tiny bit.

This is actually great for college football. More parity, maybe bad for LSU or other blue bloods but no fans of schools like Mizzou or Indiana are crying for y’all.

Blame the NCAA for sitting in their hands for so damn long.
They claim that the young men and women are student athletes first and I know they have the numbers to back up that 95+% go pro in something other than sports, but do you know what the average student can get? Sponsorships, scholarships from local business, and payments from anyone they want.
It’s just that Bryce young is much more marketable in Tuscaloosa than Vladimir Ibrahimovic, the stud chemistry student that is making new molecules.
