Because at the rate of the transfers coming in and out every year just go ahead put the number on the helmet and be done with it. Start calling everyone by number only , no need for name on back because it will probably change from year to year. Crazy times.

How can any program at this point in time develop any fan following of a particular athlete with them all having one foot out the door at season's end? How exhausting having to not only chase replacement positions but also having to re-recruit guys who are currently on the team.

Especially when they go Pro? Are the days of an athlete associated to a particular school officially gone?

Bo Jackson - Auburn great
Joe Montana - Notre Dame great
Herschel Walker - Georgia great

Is all this over? Because if it is, that really sucks. If you have any affection or appreciate the nostalgia of college football the potential absence of this hits hard.

Georgia Southern did this for a bit iirc.

What will they say in their NFL game intro montages ...

There won't be anymore ...

"Derrick Henry, Alabama"

And on top of all that, I don't see school records being broken going forward, either.

Whoever holds your school's record for passing, for example is in no threat of potentially having that record broken, ever. Single season maybe but thats it.
