I am a free market guy and I am all for NIL and the portal. There are problems to be worked out, but letting market forces drive change is the best route to take.

I agree it takes away from CFB for players to transfer every year, however, those arch-hypocrite coaches and administrators that were making millions look totally ridiculous lecturing anyone about how selfish the players are. No one told them how much money they could make, or where they had to keep working for four years because they started there.

This whirlwind we are in now is a direct result of those leaders and their damn stupid and selfish approach to running (and ruining) college football.

Monopolies that exist because they buy out competition and politicians are a big problem. They are only monopolies because competition isn't allowed, not because they provide a superior product/service.







it goes way beyond that my friend

They created college football and, at its best, it was college students playing football.
