re: Must read this article on the destruction of college football!

Much of this article is dead-on. In the old days, the only way that a program could be quickly dismantled was for the NCAA enforcement committee to limit scholarships, issue show-causes, and prohibit postseason competition. Now a coach can get a better job, and a team can disintegrate virtually overnight.

But this is the more pressing angle for us. I know you guys have enjoyed the past week or so of watching players leave Alabama. You guys hate Alabama, but I'm sure that we all love college football as we have come to know it. But listen carefully: if a program that has consistently been on top of college football for basically the entire lives of these players can be picked apart like this, then the nadir of the sport is coming quickly. There must be some kind of reform to this thing before it spirals completely out of control, and perhaps it took Daddy Alabama taking it on the chin to get the ball (or tide) rolling.
