I am truly sad for CFB at this point. The portal has completely changed the game, to the point that programs like Saban built can be torn down overnight. A&M will be a drastically different team next year due to nothing more than a coaching change. I have clients in AZ that are heartbroken at what Fisch did to that program when he left for Washington. The majority of the good players will follow him, and they will suck in perpetuity once again. I truly hate what CFB has become, and have gone back to watching the NFL.

Will I watch CFB? Probably. Will I ever pay a dime of my money to go to a game again? Probably not.

you all will probably hate this post, but CFB is a microcosm of politics. money talks, and consumes us all. Eventually we'll get back to our roots but its a tough row to hoe til we get there.

I might have to actually somewhat agree with Colorado's pessimism here

CFB ain't what it used to be. Everyone knows that universities were paying recruits all the time, especially in the SWC but now, a team can fall apart in one night. Anything the NCAA tries to do is practically shite on, they basically have no power anymore. This is a free for all, as you basically see schools like OSU openly admitting that they spend Millions to attract transfers. This sport has gone down the shitter and with a useless organization like the NCAA (some of it's their fault, other stuff is not) ain't helping. In a few years, I kind of expect to see the top schools move away from the NCAA entirely and create their own football league. That idea became a conspiracy theory not long ago to now being a somewhat realistic possibility.

The future of this sport is looking kind of gloomy.
