Me neither. Some folks on here were damn near suicidal, though.
Gurley knew exactly what he was doing. He doesn't care about maintaining integrity in college football; no kid does. It's about the almighty dollar.
Did anyone watch the Peyton Manning special on ESPN? That dude cared about college football. His generation is the last to actually care about the game.
These days, every school is Auburn on some level. It's honestly disgusting.

It's indicative of the times. I don't think that people or their loyalties have changed- there's just so much money to be made off of the spectacle of the sport itself as well as the orbiting cloud of mass and social media. None of our heroes (sports or otherwise) could've maintained their saintly status today. The media used to be complicit in sports and politics when it came to personal matters - assuming that it was more important that these gods among remain above the fray. If anything, college football is just a reflection of the culture surrounding it.
tl/dr frick Auburn

Finley is absolutely correct. The college game has evolved into a mini NFL in a sense. It's no longer played for "Love of the Game" ... now it's all about money. This makes two sports that I grew up loving, become something I barely recognize any more.
