re: Unfortunate that CFB has basically become a league of 1 yr mercenaries

i just don’t see how you have continued support when you’re asking fans to root for essentially a brand new team every year

constant turnover and no stability, I don’t even know how much longer boosters will put up with it

NCAA can't thanks to lawyers and judges.

It won't be able to do anything until it gets some antitrust protection from Congress. Wait til eligibility limits are erased by the courts. That's coming .

You guys crying about having to learn new player names, etc are just funny. Who the heck cares about their names. We root for our TEAM and the players are lucky to be on those teams. I could care less about any player individually or as a person. They are just 1 of 11 on the field wearing my teams uniform and helmet. They don’t know me and I don’t know them.

NIL is not the issue here. Look at the recruiting rankings and you'll find the SEC is doing just fine when it comes to recruiting players from high school. The issue is the transfer portal and how every single offseason a coach has to recruit his roster to remain with the team. That shouldn't be how that works.

Transfers sitting out a year would put an end to a lot of that.

they need to institute rules and contracts now

This is what needs to happen

I still support my team, and I think with the current states of college sports, that needs to be the focus.

I support my team, but could care less about any of the players.

Stop crying. You’ll be watching next season.

It is Professional Football now. What is the big deal? Why is it so bad for you because it is now professional football?

If you want pure student-athlete amateur college football, you should watch Division III football. In fact, the Div III National Championship is on ESPN tomorrow night.

Tune in if you want to see amateur student-athletes play college ball. I will watch it, even though I know that Edna Karr High School could probably beat both teams.

The problem is it's a much worse version. Compare LSU and the Saints this year. Even though the Saints had no shot at the playoffs, it has been fun watching the young guys play well. It's enjoyable because we know they will be there next year. There is incentive to stay connected to a bad team.

With LSU, as soon as they are out of the playoff, I have no incentive to keep watching. Most of the team won't be there next year.

There hasn't been much said about where the money is orifinating for the NILs.
Some corporations and individuals fit the "filthy rich" niche and right now, they are enjoying 'buying' players. Yes, I know the word buying isn't a good description, but I don't choose to describe in mellow details what they are doing.
They didn't get rich by throwing money after lost causes and sinking ships.
How many years will they continue to splurge millions to buy out coaches' contracts, to buy players who don't work at their skill set but expect to coast on their talent?

And the tax accountant in the room maybe already has a way they can write off the millions. Until that gets tossed as not an eligible business expense or not a valid 401(c)3?
