Is college football more toxic now than ever before?
by the fans? Yeah probably, all due to social media. How many incidents do we see every Sunday/Monday from some drunk shitheads trying to film something for clicks on social media? It's all about getting the likes and trying to go viral.
By the players? Hell no. Back in the day you had rosters full of mostly in-state kids that likely grew up cheering for the school and went there because they wanted to represetnt and go to war for their state and their school. Now it's just 1-year hired mercenaries going to the highest bidder so there isn't nearly the loyalty and sense of pride there used to be.

He isn’t wrong, but it is multifaceted.
For starters, the atmosphere around CFB is significantly different than it used to be. The rivalries, school pride, regional competition, is all largely gone or severely diminished.
On top of that, it is corporatized now more than it has ever been. It is all sterilized and bland.
On top of all of that, the costs are astronomically higher. $40-50 million dollars to field a team, increasing ticket prices, and extracting as much money from the fans as possible.
Not really surprised.
Schools are spending $50+ million dollars to field a football team.
They better fricking win or people should lose their jobs.

It is a big factor, IMO.

I think Indiana broke things. Patience, F patience. The worst team in CFB history won a NC inside of two years. Indiana. Now that has become the standard.
This is the main reason why "CFB is more toxic". But this sport has always been toxic for years going back to the BCS days and even in the late stages of the AP era.

Correct he was one of the biggest cheerleaders for Fauci and company. He also scolded the SEC for trying to play. Huge pussy and engages in general faggotry.

I am a man. I do not use the word toxic. That’s for women.

I don't agree with anything Wolken says.
If he said the sky was blue i'd say it's green.

We are in a world where reactions are instantaneous and results are expected asap. Fans are paying top dollar to attend games, and big donors are shelling out more than ever to fire, hire, and sign. There’s no loyalty at all. Of course it’s more toxic than ever. They created an environment where it’s title or bust.
The Tiger Rant did and now it’s spread everywhere else… I looked on it after we beat Mississippi State 45-0 in 2007 and knew we were cooked

Well when coaches at the power conferences are making 6-13 mill a year + high salary assistants make, the average fan has to fork out in some cases thousands of dollars a season people expect a quality product.The players are no longer amateurs so now they are fair game and when they F up the criticism gets worse.

The porn industry is cleaner than modern college football.
