As I get older, I have become a fan of watching entities self-destruct from the inside due their own greed and mis-management.
I wish college football wasn't one of those things.
But literally everyone can see it coming, but nobody has the sense to stop it because of the money involved.

It was so much better when the labor was unpaid and the post season was a political contest easily manipulated with soft scheduling.

Sounds like the big 10 until the SEC started winning and flaunting it in yalls face.
Early 2000s espn tried their best with pac 12/ohio state/michigan/notre dame propaganda.
By 2010 they had to jump on the SEC train due to superiority and constantly defeating northern and western teams.
With the blowouts of tenn and overall weak sec performace this last year, espn is ready to hop back on the old wagon.

People paid players before nil. This fact doesnt fit your northern yankee puritan holier than thou narrative so you have to post stupid shite like this.

The big 10 strings together two nice seasons and suddenly their entire base thinks it’s been decades of domination.

Lol. Players were paid small dollar cash under the table and the NCAA made it really punitive for them to go where they could monetize their talent if they didn’t come out of HS as a star—Ohio State was put on a bowl ban this century for players getting free tats in exchange for autographs. Now guys who never did anything make hundreds of thousands and players can go anywhere they want with no repercussions, which is the way labor mobility should work.

Just have a 134 team tourney winner take all!

That’s so ridiculous. 2/3 of the top 25 get in the playoff now, rendering the entire season nearly useless.
I liked when the entire season was essentially one giant playoff. Games meant something.
College football has been absolutely ruined by money.

Don’t even care anymore. It’s already been ruined.
Maybe we can open up a transfer portal between rounds to really make it exciting.

I can’t wait to tell people who were either too young or not yet born how great college football used to be before this 12/14/16 team playoff expansion bullshite.

Yep. I 100% agree. It most certainly was. Now it's transformed into the NFL Lite, which is something no one wanted but everyone got because of the stupidity of the fans.

Wow, a piece of paper from a directional school in one of the worst public university systems in the country. Probably pens out to about $2.25/hr (adjusted for todays value of the USD) that you got paid. And you were a prisoner there, not free to work anywhere else without penalty from the NCAA.
Stockholm syndrome is real.

You mean the stupidity of players who sued the NCAA so they didn’t have to be exploited for monetary gain and the judges who agreed with them?
It was so much better when you had to work for free and had to make a career long decision at 16-17!

NIL is only part of it and you know that. Few people are upset over the fact that players are being compensated now that it has become a multi-billion dollar industry between corporations and the individual conferences. The problem most people have with the sport right now has to do with unlimited transfers and a playoff system that has watered down the most meaningful regular season in all of American sports. We have the fans to thank for the latter point.
