Do you like cheering for a new coaching staff every 4 years?

I hate all of this shite. 10 years ago when the talk about paying players would come up, people would say many of these players were poor and needed spending money. Just give them $200 a month Mr mean rich people.
Now we have this shitshow. I think player pay should be capped at $250k
There should be binding 2 year contracts
Players should have to sit out a year if they transfer unless their coach leaves.

Tiger stadium won't enter the portal. The purple and gold is ours. We are LSU. The players come and go. How I feel about LSU football doesnt change no matter what 11 is on the field

I am intrigued by some of the reactions in these threads calling out old people. One from the other day said “I can’t wait for this generation to die off”. Wow.
Two points from a 56 year-old fan:
* pro boxing used to be HUGE. People bought expensive tickets to the Superdome to watch heavyweight fights on a screen(!). Pro boxing, NASCAR, baseball - consumer interest really can spike and then dissolve.
* the USFL trotted out a bunch of guys in familiar uniforms and called them the New Orleans Breakers. I never once looked at their roster or watched a single play of a single game. New Orleans Breakers are no more. People will not just root for a helmet and uniform if there is *zero* connection with the fan base.

I cheer for the same team every year and have for a long time. I don’t pull for a new team every year.

Totally agree 100%

I cheer for LSU. I've seen a lot of guys come and go.
I kept rooting for LSU after Hilliard left, after Hodson, after Faulk, etc.
It's college. You don't see players stay long.
We just saw Nussmeier stay 5 years, and he was somebody lots of people wanted gone this year.

Totally illegal according to the courts
You’re blaming the players when you should be blaming the people running the NCAA the last 25 years who did nothing when all this was brought up 20 years ago

Good post & upvote because I feel the same way to a certain extent.
I think the creation of the transfer portal is overwhelmingly the biggest driver of the issues - not NIL. Paying recruits has been happening for decades so I don’t mind that either (new structure actually levels the playing field moving it above board vs. watching Dodge Chargers all over).
I support the players making money and it’s deserved, but combining the money with the transfer portal is creating a massive shitstorm bubble that is not going to benefit college football or college sports in general. It’s now an unregulated 1 year contract/free agency market every single year, for every single player.
Absolute chaos that self interested “agents” are going to prey on

I’ve definitely experienced this. I think 2019 was like the somewhat perfect ending for the CFB that I grew up with. It seemed most of those players were t least here two years and embraced the culture.
I don’t see that anymore. Add to that the lackluster hire of BK, lackluster performance outside of JD, and nil movements and the past 4-5 years, my interest has really faded.
This past season was probably the first in over 25 years, that I didn’t make sure to plan my Saturdays around game time. Few times I was out sleeping on the AT or other trails and could have cared less.
Probably also due to my age and realizing there’s shite I want to do more than structuring my fall weekends around this.
For me, the perfect storm. I’ve seen the best (2019) and I don’t see anything living up to that for many reasons. Still bleed purple and gold, but not living life around it.

No. That’s why I stopped watching college basketball.

If you’ve got some data to back that up, it will be the first I’ve seen. So please share.

players leaving doesn't bother me, but the rules changes to make it "more exciting" killed a lot of my interest.
With college basketball, I'm old enough to remember the no shot clock, no 3 pt shot era. And I liked that style of play a lot more. There was a lot more skill involved with getting a good shot, a lot more strategy in offenses. And defenses could still force the tempo with presses and traps.
With football, some of the crap in the NFL, especially with the kickoff and extra points, bugs me the same way. And with college, dicking around with the clock is doing the same thing.
The sport was perfectly fine, no reason to frick with it. Football is meant to have touchbacks at the 20, kicks where you could run fakes, onside kicks that could be surprises. Going out of bounds stops the clock, and in college getting the first down stops it. That's the way it was played for a very long time, teams did all sorts of things to make the most of that.
Changing from that annoys me far more than seeing a different set of guys on the field, as long as they're still wearing the jerseys I know and love.

This is how I’m beginning to feel. Players in the NFL are more loyal to their teams and cities than college football players are. The whole system is very unsustainable and it could crash and burn at some point.

And do you know what gets forgotten? We can blame this whole mess on California. They were the first state to allow NIL. That almost never gets mentioned anymore. They ruin everything!
