College football we know is done. $$$$ makers are gonna get their way. There may come a day though, young athletes will have to decide to either join the g-league out of high school or go get a college education. I would much rather watch a group of young athletes compete for their school, with a free education, boarding, and nourishment, even though they are of less talent, then the so called future g-league player out of high school and his/hers family thinks. And maybe once a young athlete makes that decision, that's it. He ain't running back to college. Period. Nadda. First it was baseball, then basketball, now football. Go ahead and start g-league football with all the dam sponsors you want. I won't be watching. Never thought it would come to this, but after 50 years as a True VOL Fan,,, I'm out. ✌️

Glad you let us know.

I’m sure we won’t hear from you again

Finally we were all talking about how the board would be better without you specifically the other day in the VIP lounge.

I'm not quite there yet, but I understand the sentiment.

There was a time when I was a rabid fan of the NFL, MLB and the NBA. If you had told me 30 years ago that there would come a day when I would have ZERO interest in any of them, I wouldn't have believed you. But such is the case today.

I get it...as a Vols fan, it sucks to be stuck in this arms race where teams are bought instead of built.

I'm going to keep calm and play Rocky Top though. You can already see some of the signs and markers that the market is going to correct, rules will be put in place, and balance will return...it.happens in every industry and every economy.

Al that said, as a real fan of college football, this season was like no other ever. The parity, the Cinderella story, the chess game, and all the pagentry is still there...it was amazing.

Which signs do you speak of? I see none to this point…

I keep responding to these post because the ideology truly amazes me. Have yall been living under a rock? 50 years and you really think only NOW it has been about the money for the players? Nothing has changed.

That said this is the first post I've ever seen from you. Less than two year old account with less than 100 posts.

This board won't be the same without you.

I watch more NFL now because you don’t kid yourself about the “pageantry” of college football. That is long gone and never coming back. But pulling for Cowboys (1) and Titans (2) is not much fun either 😆.
