College sports blow now

We are blowing up 100 year rivalries for what? Short term gains from more interesting matchups that will go stale after they’ve been played every year for a few years? This sport is built on tradition and great regional rivalries. Am I excited to see fresh matchups, of course. But we are casting aside legitimately interesting blood feuds for big time matchups between schools on opposite ends of the country with basically zero animosity for each other.
The NFL is profitable but not nearly as fun as college football. College football is on the path to being a shite version of its professional counterpart.

I’ve always wanted to see USC play Rutgers or Georgia Tech battle with Minnesota

Why can't USC and UCLA keep their most fierce rivals? Frankly, I'm not of the belief that college football survived NIL. But nothing is stopping traditional matchups even in a different conference.

Today's generation doesn't care about traditions. That is why everything has to be changed in society.

I agree completely. How the conferences were in the early 90s made way more sense before money destroyed everything. Regional rivalries should exist in college football.

Nothing says late-night, West-coast football like a noon kickoff in Piscataway, NJ

Or how bout those South Carolina/Texas games...or those Oklahoma/Vanderbilt games. The SEC started this long ago.
Arkansas
South Carolina
Texas AM
Missouri
Texas
Oklahoma
Tell me again...who is responsible for this? The B1G is just reacting to every move the SEC makes.

And Matt Miscona parades around that he is happy we will eventually get a single 50 team conference like the NFL… what a goober
