re: For College Football to Survive, Saban Needs To Retire

"We know you are just having fun, but to continue the pretense: what would you have the secrant Bama posters do? Petition the school to fire Coach Saban; start a GoFundMe to hire a hit man; spread the N word around campus in reference to the football team; what practical suggestions to you have for us to remedy our catastrophic condition? We need help."

Actually, I am being serious. Lack of competition has totally ruined women's college basketball. UCONN might be the only school enjoying the sport. Everyone else could give a shite. College football is no different and if the same team keeps winning everything every year or being put in the CFP whether they win their conference or even their division or not, other teams and other areas of the country will find something else to entertain themselves with. This is a real danger to the continuation of the sport itself if competition dies off or simply gives up.

What Saban has built at Alabama is closer to a semi-pro team than a collegiate team. He has somehow been able to find that zone which exist between college football and pro football. THIS is the problem for college football as there is no answer for it yet it is hurting the overall competitive nature of the sport. In my opinion, no other team in the history of the sport has been able to enter this zone. Perhaps scholarship limits are part of the answer whereby the quality is spread around a little bit more.

Alabama fans, spoiled to the core with this are mostly incapable of seeing this but many of us see it plain as day. Saban, if he passes the bear in championships, should respectfully say "I have done enough" and step aside for the overall good of the sport. If he does this, his legacy will be revered rather than despised. There has to be a point where enough is enough and beyond that point is simply selfish madness by the one perpetrating the harm. Does Saban want to be remembered as a legend or a lunatic? It's his choice to make.
