re: College sports blow now

Yes, college football will be fine. Except now it'll be stale as frick like the NFL. What made CFB great was the regionality of it. What made CFB great was that multiple generations of family could sit in the same seats and watch their teams run out onto the field.

This corporatism will make the sport boatloads of money. But it will happen at the expense of the true fans and the ones that made it better than the NFL to begin with.

I think they amount of money and the "corporatism" factor has effectively ruined the game that we once knew.

-The stadiums, overnight, got too big, too majestic, and too grand. As a result, they are rarely filled to capacity, and they now produce a stale, boring, and atmosphere.

-You're lucky if you're able to hear the band play a few songs. It's now piped in shitty rap music.

-The students these days are more into their Tick-Tock and Instagram videos than the actual game.

-The conferences we once loved (SWC, Big 8, Big 12, Pac 10, Pac 12, etc.) are gone.

-We're losing major conference/regional rivalries (Nebraska vs. OU, Nebraska vs. CU, Texas vs. A&M, USC vs. Notre Dame, Missouri vs. Kansas)

-We're paying recruits a substantial amount to entice them to come to whatever school

-Players can transfer freely without any repercussions
