I’ve never understood this attitude.

The portal is where 90% of CFB’s problems lie now.

Lolwut? Who said anything about hating players? I hate the bill, not the players.
Also you mentioned the portal as being a big problem, it's only going to get worse from here. The second string quarterback at school a is going to get reached out to by school b and told "if you come here and start you can be the face of our car dealership and we'll pay you six figures how does that sound?"
Currently players leave en masse bc they want more playing time. Now they're going to start leaving for more playing time and more money. 5 years from now the game isn't going to resemble anything close to "amateur" athletics.

I applaud a player being able to get what is his.
But there are always unintended consequences.
The early signing period essentially forces a LOI on 17 and 18 year olds whose position and college coaches have a 20% chance of not being around in the fall.
The transfer portal has more kids than spots available on teams.
Name/Image/Likeness puts paying players above the table and encourages natural markets (Los Angeles CA, Nike/Oregon, Atlanta, etc..) an ability to skew recruiting even further. Sport agents and financial planners win because they now have legal, unfettered access to 18 year olds in the hopes of 10+ year commissions as professionals. You want Kirby kissing their asses because that is how the AAU game is played?
I hope my fears are wrong. But i think i have a justified fear of people making changes to society because of a blind loyalty to their feelings and lack of foresight into reality.

It seems like these are branches from the same tree: empowering the individual at the expense of the school/team.
There's something about the nameless jerseys and that kind of spirit that helps differentiate college football from the NFL.
Anyways, I'm just getting old and am sad to see the sport changing, even in the subtlest of ways.
