re: They are really turning our beloved game into NFL lite

Dartmouth about to blow it wide open.

If the transfer portal went away, I'd be a happy camper. That's the thing driving my biggest issue now...players become essentially free agents without contracts.

agree that the portal sucks

NIL? Pay the kids...I have no problem with NIL.

Why? they are amateurs. And they receive compensation well, WELL into the 6 figures with everythign they get in return for playing ball, not to mention they were already getting stipends so they were paid already.

Rules changes? No issues

The majority of them are uncessary and change simply for change's sake. Ther'es nothign that says you HAVE to create a dozen rule chagnes every offseason.

Conference realignment? Fully onboard

this is fricking despicable and is a massive teardown to the CFB that we've all known. CFB was great, in part, because of regionality. The SEC was the southeast and you got to know and hate all your neihgbors. The ACC was on the atlantic coast and the Pac was on the pacific coast. Now youv'e got teams litearlly on seprate coasts in the same conference. W're going to ahve 20 team super-leagues based on zero logic or regoinality and 100% based on money. THat's yoru idea of amateur athletics?

Sick and tired of Ohio St. and Michigan having one game schedules every damn year and making the playoffs as a result.

I don't recall being a fan of OSU or Michigan so IDGAF about their schedule. I'm a fan of UGA and UGA's schedule is now exponentioally harder.

We now get two blue blood programs in the SEC

So what!? We gain nothing from this except more injuries and harder games.

And a playoff? Holy shite, it's going to be glorious some of the matchups we're going to get to watch. I

---

yeah, UGA/Bama/OSU/etc beathing the frickign shite out of a 3-loss team ranked 12th is sure going to be great. If after 13 weeks you are only ranked 12th, you ahve zero business competing for a title. At all.

I also believe it will lead to a truer champion than the four team currently gives us.

---

In what universe? Your 13 game season is your resume and shows who you are. By adding like 4-5 extra games you're just introducing more luck and injuries to the equation. We currently have the best setup that's ever existed in CFB, making it bigger doesn't help it at all.

Not all change is bad, though...let's give this a chance and see how everything plays out (minus the portal, because frick the portal).

---

YOu and other people like to pretend that toher people are jsut old codgers and resistant to change which simply isn't true. Going from an archaic bullshite anything goes system of determing a champ to the BCS- that's a good change. Going from only 2 teams being able to play for a title to 4 teams? Another great change. These are chanbges that are helping make thigns better overall but they aren't actually altering the sport itself too mcuh. NIL and conference realignment have altered the fundamentl foundation of the game and it's not able to be changed. It's change for one reason adn one reason only- to make the peopel in charge more money. Period, point blank, end of story. This sin't about the kids, it isn't about teh fans, it isn't about the coaches...it's about money.
