College football is making more money than ever but why does it all feel so empty now?

8-4 and declining a bowl b/c the idiots running the NCAA decided the portal will only be open during bowl season.

Either opt outs need to be disallowed, or make the playoff 64 teams

They making nil but too many opt outs
ESPN doesn’t care about putting half teams on tv as an infomercial
That’s all bowl games are now
