Certainly will never be as glorious as it once was.
But, so thankful I got to enjoy a lot of the great years. Also, thankful LSU got their shite together and won some "ships when it was still glorius.
Kinda like hunting it will never be like it was but relish in the fact you saw it at its heyday.
Me first people will never enjoy what we had and this country is on a downward spiral kinda like college football. Enjoy what you can but soon enough college football will most likely damage itself.

All the years I watched college football up until the last two season"s. Its certainly getting less interesting for myself. I remember Jan. 1st as magical even when LSU did not play (which was often lol).
But, you need to read closer, I never stated glorious years only you did!

I don’t like the transfer portals. If you transfer, you should sit out an entire season .
I don't understand why people are upset with the transfer portal. What if a kid goes to a particular school for a coach and then coach leaves the next season? Shouldn't the kid be able to leave without being punished?

OK, so it was "glorious" sometime in the past, but that past didn't occur within any years?Posted on 12/8/21 at 2:45 pm to thadcastle

Coaches hopping from job to job for bigger paychecks does some damage to the “university pride” aspect that has been so important to college football.
But at least they aren’t students.
Players doing it is the absolute death blow.

Too many bowls, coaches leaving before the season is over, players opting out, hitting the transfer portal, now the NIL is a threat to degrade the game, its going down hill for sure.

What part of the "real world" involves people with no actual involvemnt telling others what they're worth?
Scholarships aren't enough. You might feel like they are, that's fine, that's irrelavent. The point is the market has determined in many of these instances that they're worth much more, and in the real world, you go to a different job/firm and go get it.
But in this imaginary world, they shouldn't??? The irony.

When I watch the games, the product on the field is still college football, though different in scheme and style, but that's always been the case with an evolving sport.
Off the field things are a result of fans and media clamoring for more benefits and rights for the student athletes. The kids didn't bring about any changes, the adults in the room did. And as usual, the changes have brought about unintended consequences. The kids are just taking advantage of them.
Now we're seeing the media and fans lashing out against the very changes they wanted, after they see the results. Not all, mind you, but some.

If you don’t think its important that the athletes are student-athletes and that they are representing the university that is educating them, then I’m not going to argue with you. I believe it’s critical to the greatness of college football.
I don’t think the same of coaches, because they’ve already gotten their education and are in their careers.

The overwhelming majority of former (and most liley current) players support these changes, I imagine most are envious they didn't have these options and are happy for their younger brethren.
Northwestern players literally tried to unionize and got told to sit down & shut up.

So universities now have to outbid other school's for a player's services ? I'll pay Cam Newton 180k. No, I will pay 500k for Cam to stay 4 years at FSU. We are buying players under the guise of NIL. Its out in the open now. SMU running amuck. Free agency to the highest bidder. No more bag men. just cash money for everyone.
