It's becoming harder to remain a fan of college football

School loyalty is very few and far between these days. I hate to say it, but the NFL is even better than this shitshow. The NIL and portal have absolutely ruined the sport. At this point, is it even worth it?

Seinfeld had a joke that you aren't cheering for the players, you're cheering for the jersey.

I agree with you, though. If there was any doubt that college football was a minor league for the NFL, it's gone now. At least in the NFL, and with coaches, there are multi year contracts. With this new court ruling, players aren't limited to one portal transfer anymore.

How? Why do you care about NIL? Ignore it, we will help players get enough cash that it’ll largely help us many times.

Portal isn’t bad either, we’ve had good contributors from it (Kendrick, Tykee, Rara, Lovett).

I don’t disagree but at least we aren’t one of the also ran schools. All in all it might be a pain, change your feelings on the game, etc. but it will in all likelihood be a net positive for Georgia. That’s not at all true for a place like Vanderbilt or Miss State or others. Those schools may well be forced out of the P5(4) in years to come.

I am not smart enough to figure it all out, but the amount of money made by the SEC and Big10 schools makes NIL money really very small. Add the collectives. and increase in tickets and everything else nothing has changed except players are getting more money. As for the portal schools like UGA, Bama and the like will be able to possible get better players not only from portal, but add more from high schools. No one knows what the new model will be, but sure won't be like the old one.

Please.Just stop with the drama.You'll be parked right in front of the set to watch every snap of the Orange Bowl and counting the days over the Summer in anticipation of the Clemson game.

Pair it with targeting nonsense making tackling illegal, the constant barrage of commercials, and now the extended playoff. Suddenly CFB has become an entirely new thing, and it sucks.
