Posted byMessageVU fan 43Demise of football Dynasties by VU fan 43There might be more parity between the big programs but it will only further separate the big guys (Bama, UGA, tOSU, etc) from the rest of us. I have to say that I’m just so darned tired. Programs like mine don’t stand a chance. In the 70s it was increasing scholarships. That was the first blow. Now we got NIL - which is fine- except that now it’s a bidding war before the kid even gets to school. It was never supposed to be that. Now we got wide open transfers- some of it is good for the kid- but, as with everything else, it’s gone too far. I can envision every one of our good players leaving, then what? So we are just a feeder system for you? We have less than 7000 undergrads; you think we are going to get walk-ons? Now we got schools that can just dump all their players and get new ones. Do you think schools like Vandy would do that? I hope all the Bigs just form their own super league and let the rest of us have fun playing competitive football with a more balanced playing field in normal geographic conference with normal rules for schools that want to keep ‘schools’ in the equation. I’ve been watching football for almost 70 years, and I’m just not enjoying it any more. I watch the Vandy game and cheer like hell for our guys to do well and that’s about it. Watching all you semi-pros (and they are extraordinary) just doesn’t give me any fun anymore. Sorry for this but, every week it’s just the same. It depresses me now. What’s the point?
