College football has been professional wrestling for 100 years. The sport has always been uneven because coaches were willing to break rules to get good players to sign with them. The hypocrisy that “now the sport is dead” is just hilarious. The sport has been dead for 85% of the schools for decades because they couldn’t compete with the schools that paid players ($100 handshakes, cars, women, etc). Now, that anyone can buy players the big boy fans scream “it’s dead”. Just hilarious, Where were you guys screaming that when UGA bought Herschel or Auburn bought Cam or ND buying OLinemen. It’s been happening for decades and I think it’s great that any team can now do want the consistent top 15 have been doing for 100 years.

So 85% of schools couldn't compete because they didn't have the money of the top 15%, but now that schools can legally pay players it levels the playing field? What? If they couldn't afford to compete in the world of $100 handshakes how are these schools benefitting from top players getting six- and seven-figure deals?
