There’s more movement because there’s more immaturity at the collegiate level. For years, collegiate athletics made bank on the backs of players and now the pendulum has swung in the opposite direction. At some point it’ll have to even out. I’m looking forward to when it does.I can't handle this crap anymore. I really can't.
Something has to be done. There's more movement than at the professional level. And the players' rear ends are being kissed more than at the professional level.
This isn't good and mark my words, there will be a day where it effects the viewership and bottom line.
I agree . I’m tired of recruiting & re-recruiting the same people every year. I’m a low level donor( 5 figure) and really don’t make a difference. To me, it’s not worth it, I will always root for the Vols but this S**t is ridiculous .
If a kid bleeds orange and get paid more to wear blue, and he takes it then I get it, but it sure takes away from what college football is, at least in my mind. Pride, bragging rights, history, etc really no longer matter and that’s a sad shame. It’s what made it so greatCFB is a a crossroads with the average fan like me. I hate all this!!! The interest in it is going out the door!
No it's not. This was the most profitable year yet for college football with more viewers than ever. You and others keep saying this, but the numbers say that college football has never been more popular.He says at 12:46 am.

If you really feel that way, why not sell your 2025 tickets for face value? I am sure fans will snap them up in a New York minute.
We have lawyers on speed dial. In fact, they probably have the contract template ready to go! Just add player name and $ and lock ‘em up - figuratively not literally.I think the main issue with #5 is that NIL is not under the control of universities. The issue may be resolved by universities contracting with players as employees. Universities can offer 1-5 yr. contracts with higher annual "salaries" for longer-term commitments. Lots of details would have to be worked out in the contracts (injuries, conduct, academics, performance, etc.).
