It is definitely exciting.

Along with the Coaching Changes board, this season has been awesome.

I didnt downvote your hard message, dont worry. But yeah it caused me and 5-6 buddies to not keep season tickets, and do just 1 group trip game a year. Overall fans being vested less, which everyone i talk to can't stand new cfp world, means sport will suffer long term. I haven't heard 1 person say they like unlimited transfers, nil$ free agency led by agents every year. You do you

Think it's become more of a hobby vs passion for a lot. Still care and want them to win, do well, and something to follow. Just not as passionate. All ive heard is that line of thinking from any cfp fan. Could be wrong

This is called an anecdotal fallacy

Could be for sure. Haven't read anywhere on these boards that anyone likes running clock (less plays), unlimited transfers, nil $ and agents. Like I said, could be wrong

Since the portal was created we have had TWO Heisman QB’s in football, a national championship in womens basketball with Angel Reese, a national championship in baseball with Tommy Tanks and Paul Skenes.
Viva el portal!!!!!!!

I guess if you like chaos this is very exciting. Seems like a huge clusterfrick to me. Went from Chambliss to Sorsby to Leavitt to Williams in the course of a week.

It’s the calendar that’s the problem. Start the season earlier and finish the season no latter than Jan 1st. Open the portal a week after the season ends and then have one high school signing day in February.

The NIL/portal era is not good for us. It's like saltwater intrusion.

We already had a natural recruiting footprint among the best 2 or 3. Now, we're just another player along with 25 - 30 other skools.

As a LSU alumni, as it currently stands, I find the NIL fueled Portal to be a destruction of the soul of CFB.

The current situation is terrible for the sport. I dont know anyone personally who likes this. Maybe women who like drama.
