I can absolutely see CFB fans, not being turned fully off, starting to wane in interest and passion, as the college sports "professionalize."


and you could see it coming a thousand miles away but people wanted to put their head in the sand and ignore it, simply because of revenue reasons. When we let kids freely transfer with zero repercussions and start this NIL crap to pay them they are essentially no long amateur student athletes.

You’re right. It was way better when the players were dirt poor and everyone could profit off of the 18-22 year old player’s names, except for themselves. We should go back to them not being able to be able to afford simple things in life while the universities get rich and all the fat cats get a raise. It’s much more entertaining when the kids stay poor, right?

NIL has been a long time coming. You can’t call yourself a capitalist then bitch about an 18 year old making money off of his own name. Everything will sort itself out in time, it’s what happens in a free market economy. This is all new, and new things scare people.

That's what coaches have been doing for the last thirty years while players were penalized if a coach dropped them from the team and they went elsewhere. Why do you think the players have pushed back so hard?
