Is there any scenario you won’t watch CFB

Unlimited eligibility is probably the line. Who knows tho

If there's some sort of top level split of like the top one 15 teams and my team is left out.

Political motives

I think the expanded playoff will keep eyes on the sport assuming players don’t opt out of the playoffs

I don’t if I’ll ever completely stop watching, but it’s getting harder to really care like I used to. Maybe part of that is growing up, but the way a lot of players act doesn’t help. I don’t blame a guy for transferring out if he really needs to, but so many players are just quitters and aren’t scrappy. It’s harder and harder to admire or respect players.

I’m very, very close, as far as *genuine* enjoyment of and enthusiasm for the sport.

Honestly, one of the few remaining things that have kept me in it is finding the Rant. I love this shitshow and since its reason for being is college football, I’ll probably keep the game in mind if only to enjoy the magnificent disaster this place is.

Rapidly approaching that point now. I watched less last season than ever before.

It would be a very high mark to keep me from watching.

But, the trend is making it hard to root for the individuals on the team, as they come and go with ease and break the hierarchy of the traditional coach-player relationships in college sports and below.

That is the real shite side of it all. College sports is built around watching players wait, develop, and truly impact their programs to become legends. Now, it's headed toward "who was that guy that played that one year that made the awesome end zone catch to beat AU?" It kind of sucks.

If I wanted to watch entitled players getting in the faces of their coaches, pouting, and bailing at every time the $$$ is better, I'd watch pro sports.

Feels like we are a couple short years away from college athletes sounding like post-race Nascar drivers thanking their sponsors for 2 minutes to open up every post-game interview.

I have zero issue with NIL as it was intended. I don't like the collectives as it only fosters structured pay for play, and I like the free transfer rules less. The latter is the more pressing thing to address. If collectives are to stay under the current transfer rules, quit calling it a scholarship and make it a 3 year contract with conditions for if coaches change and a buyout to transfer.

Already basically done without the traditional yearly games

If the Vols shutdown their program.

I could get made for a bit and slow down my involvement and have in the past. Hell I stopped following the nfl, nba, and mlb over the last decade. MLB and NFL were over strikes/lockouts, so if college kids went on strike I could see that stopping my support. NBA just is so far removed from the game I grew up with it’s unwatchable.

I could see a time when I leave the US for a more permanent solution in a developing country and could be content following a couple rugby leagues and supporting a regional cricket club.
