You're so dumb to think the SEC was the only ones. I mean how stupid do you have to be to believe that when you guys are literally doing anything for a buck or to buy a talent
Shut up, simpleton, where did I say only the SEC did it? The SEC was just better at it back then. Now that paying players is quasi-legal, y'all bitch about other schools being better at it. Cheaters hate competition. And who are "you guys," I'm a Syracuse fan we haven't won shite in forever.

I'll take fifteen jersey patches if it means they go back to making students who transfer sit for a year.
Never gonna happen. Best case scenario will be the school that lost the player gets a transfer fee.

You definitely want your team to get out in front of this corporate sponsorship thing for the money. Don't be slow to the goal-line out of some misplaced sense of obsolete sentimentality.
You can have a corporation's name right above your jersey's front numbers, like they do in Premier League soccer.
And if the NCAA says "No" to that idea, sue them in court, claiming a First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech. Commercial speech is speech.
The Mercedes-Benz Fighting Tigers of LSU take the field, boasting a star-studded roster of multi-millionaires !!

College football now really is a lot like mid-2000s NASCAR. People forget how crazy popular NASCAR was in the 90s and 2000s. Massive ratings every week, drivers on commercials everywhere, selling out 150,000 seat stadiums like it was nothing.
Then they started doing everything they could to drive away fans.
College football will never fall to where NASCAR is now simply because of fans’ ties to the schools, but college football has definitely lost its way. Eventually a lot of fans are just going to stop caring and find something else to pay attention to.

It's going to be easier to follow "lesser" teams, i.e. teams with less money and players who still attend classes and pursue degrees.
This year we watched some of their championship games and they were football that was less than perfect, but good enough for entertainment.
We may never see the big dumb D1 guy who (when asked what his major is in his Senior (hah) year) thinks for thirty seconds and responds, with a smile, "General Studies". He won't be missed.

It might be slower, but it’s hard to see even die hard alums indoctrinating their kids to the same extent as previous generations in the current environment. I grew up going to games with my parents, following the players, recruits, etc. Attendance is way more expensive now, and rosters fluctuate so much now I have a hard time seeing that as much for my kids.
Exactly zero of the major decisions made in the past 10-15 years have been made with the ticket-buying fan in mind, and that will eventually erode their core audience.

Oh. But we wanted a true national champion. One that was settled on the field. That comes at a cost. So destroy the thing that you love, sacrifice it on the alter of the almighty dollar.

It sounds like the situation really got frustrating, especially when logistics don’t go as planned and leave everyone scrambling. Sometimes having a reliable option for transport, like using services such as sallimoservice, can take some of the stress out of the day and keep things moving smoothly. I’m curious, how are you usually handling these last-minute complications, and have you found any strategies that consistently help?

It's actually quite a feat how quickly they have killed what wa previously the best sport in the world.
There’s a lot of “we” in there too. Ridiculous things like coaches making eight figures and recruiting an illiterate 5 star from two time zones away who doesn’t belong in college over a 3 star valedictorian from the home state are because of fan expectations.
Treat CFB like the extracurricular activity that it is and not a multibillion dollar entertainment industry and maybe there would be actual students out there.
