The whole thing is a paradox. Giving money for players who, largely don't give a shite about Auburn, reinforces the fact that college sports are a professional endeavor now which removes all the beauty, glory, and romance that came with collegiate athletics and separated them from professional sports.

I wouldn't have said it as crass as giving money for 18 year olds to buy weed but, if we're being honest, that's not far off and not a thing I am going to spend my money on.

I've said the same, but I've gone back to my fandom generally, like heroin.

On record I'd like to say I'd be fine with college football and Auburn not having this professional silliness like we have now. I think I'd much rather root for Turd Ferguson who's father played here or farmed in Lee County a generation back. Or dudes from Lochapolka or Notasolga. It would be college football again, not this minor league NFL system that has a school attached. General Studies? Give me a break.
