That’s another reason college baseball can’t break through. People like that softball shite and it steals the spotlight.

College sports are a relic of days gone by

I have no desire to follow the sport or recruiting. I’ll still watch but following the sport feels disgusting.

It's all the damn commercials that have made be almost stop watching CFB. And if ESPN would just go out of business I might renew my interest in the game.

He was signing top 3 classes through his retirement and Bama signed a top 3 class last year despite the transition.

Recruiting isn’t a factor for Saban leaving, dealing with free agency and one year contracts absolutely was.

Bama had players lined up on the jet demanding to talk about NIL on the flight back from losing the rose bowl.

It’s dumb.

Annual free agency is not sustainable.

Sure it is. People are still going to watch. People are addicted to CFB.

Saban retired because of the entitled elitists. Nothing more. If you think your teams don’t cheat, you’re a fricked in the head.

College football is dead.

I know from the NFL and Nascar that this is how it starts.

I haven't watched them in years and basically the only time I see anything about either is clips and such. They use to be big deals.

I only watch games that get broadcast, so basically ABC. 2 years ago I barely watched any games, but this past year I watched a good bit since ABC was doing 3 a day. I haven't watched the playoffs or bowl games at all in the past 2 years, except for a few I watched the skycam/all22. Which I actually prefer.

I’ve cared less and less since 2020. I think I probably won’t be watching soon just like I don’t really follow the nfl

Don’t feel bad. More and more fans will get into college baseball and ruin it, too.

So you’ve got that to look forward to.

I dropped my season tickets after the 2016 season.

I just got tired of watching the arse beatings at home and it didn't help that some gump sitting in front of me kept hitting me in the head with pom poms after I asked him nicely to stop. He turned around and pointed at his Alabama shirt. I finally grabbed them from his hands and told him I will shove it up your arse if you don't stop and gave it back. He was going to say something but his wife told him to be quiet.

That wasn't fun at all and the white trash like that was the last straw for me.

Wow, you sound like a total pussy and, obviously, a quitter. You just hang it up as soon as things get difficult without even thinking about it? I can’t imagine how pathetic your life must be.

Sit out a year rule needs to be implemented if a player transfers..

As with NIL money.
