Bro, wut?
building bigger stadiums, being on TV more often, and paying coaches more are all things that are on the fringe of the actual game being played on the field between the endzones. Never in history have we had a situation where an 18 year old freshman coudl say "I was paid $100K to come here and start. I'm not starting the season opener, so I'm going to sit out unless i get paid more money, and if I'm not paid more I'm going to transfer to your biggest rival and start there next season" and it be 100% completely above board within the rules. Taht is insane.

And to be clear, my point is that the sport is constantly changing. It never stops changing.
Of course, that's just life in general. There's always going to be changes, some for good and some for bad, but it just feels like these current changes are massively hurting the sport overall. I remember when I was younger my boomer-generation uncle would always talk abotu how back in his day all the games were at 1pm and he didn't like this night game business. That is so, so much different of a change though from what we have now.

Romanticism is baked into the experience.
I feel like people, myself very much included, romanticize the time period they grew up with and I don't disagree with that. But agian, I'm talking about major sweeping changes to the fundamentals of how the sport operates. Not just what time the games are or what mediums you're able to watch them.

Reading this thread has me feeling disappointed in what CFB has transitioned into. You and RollTide1987 nailed it.
You should have to sit some time if you transfer, no immediate eligibility.
NIL also has too many hands involved. You should be able to sell a signed jersey like AJ Green did, or other related things like that (maybe some type of royalty). But making deals like $50k for each player on the OL shouldn’t be allowed.
The monkey is out of the bottle. It’s going to be very difficult to fix.
