CFB without school pride or meaningful rivalries is lame as hell. If this is true (I don't think it is), then I need a new hobby.

Your perception is your perception. We have always had and will allways have a number of players that go to a given school because:

1> Location
2. Favorite coaches
3. Better coaches
4. Chance to win championship
and a lot of other reasons. Do you think players went to Alabama because of school pride. There are tons of reasons a kid might choose a school. Hopefully school pride is developed while there, but put yourself in their place.

You love the University of Georgia. You get here and you are a highly rated player, but Georgia has been stockpiling talent. Another school comes along and offers you a million dollars to play, develop and help you get to the NFL.

Would you honestly stay at Georgia?
Rivalries are primarily for fans. The players feel it, but it is not the overarching influence it is with fans.
