Go to the 10 minute mark where he talks about college football as we know it will become a semi pro football league detached from the university. I hate the direction this is going and there is no turning back.

I'll go ahead and ruin the suspense. You'll still be watching it anyway.

I have had this conclusion several times since NIL started.
The only thing I can think of to save the “college” aspect of COLLEGE football:
The college scholarship program needs to change.
Scholarship has 12 year window. You don’t have to be enrolled in classes if you are playing a sport. If you are in college to play a sport that you can earn a living playing, then that is all your focus, not classes. Say after 5 years from initially enrolling in college your respective sport doesn’t pan out professionally- you’d still have 7 years to use that college scholarship to earn your degree.
OR
Schools need to stop labeling sports as extracurricular activities, and just make them degree programs in and of themselves. Instead of saying I played football in college say, “I majored in football in college. Didn’t play professionally, but hey, I have that degree!”

He's definitely hitting the nail right on the head. Around this time 10 years ago, I was about as die hard about this sport as it came. Now in April 2022, I am nowhere near as excited about the impending college football season as I have been in years past. I used to watch multiple games every Saturday but now tend to only tune in to the Alabama game. And even that I don't get as much joy out of as I used to.

It needs to detach. No tax money needs to go to building palaces for football recruits. Students working their asses off for ridiculous tuitions shouldn't have to watch athletes suck down millions in NIL money and still get full rides plus food, gym, trainers and everything else free that the university makes the general student body pay for.
Let these kids go pro right out of school. Let them live on sponsorship money in the "developmental" (formerly college) league. Much of what was unique about college football has already been dead on most campuses for two decades or more, anyway.

Yeah, that’s cute coming from a fan of a team that just bought the most expensive recruiting class in history. I swear, Aggies are so fricking sad. I’ve never seen a program have to cling to their money as a way to have any type of success. You would think by now they’ve learned that’s not the key?

When your version of "success" is 8-4, is it really any surprise??

College football will be fine, there are/is going to be changes, but as long as the NFL (and they players association) requires a player to be out of high school three years, it is still going to be a great product.
Players have a right to earn money off their name image likeness, and that's just the way it is in today's CFB landscape, if you don't like it, choose another sport to get into, or am NFL team to cheer for.

It’s becoming minor league pro football. College football was better 40 years ago when 90% of your team came from a 200 mile radius of your school. National recruits were an outlier. It was truly my state vs your state.
As said above, I watch Auburn games only.

What’s the incentive to go to class when you make that much money? We’re discussing 18-22 year old men.

So we don't like that college is becoming more like the NFL, and your argument is to just switch to the NFL?
Probably didn't think this one through.

If it comes to what programs can buy the most best players Georgia will just be another also ran

Faster pace for basketball.
I miss watching 3-4 year players in basketball.

So much bitterness here…. I guess he’s pissed lsu couldn’t outspend us for Jimbo.
Just one small indication that the people in the know choose Texas A&M over your shlt stain of a school!

Everybody and their "sky is falling" rhetoric about college football makes me chuckle.
Of course a player has to attend classes (and pass), otherwise they will not be able to play on Saturdays and improve their draft stock for the league.
As stated above as long as the NFL keeps is 3 years removed from high school policy, CFB will be fine.
I do believe some regulation needs to happen as to giving HIGH SCHOOL players $ to attend your college, as seen with A&M this past recruiting class. I don't know how they are going to do that but they will hopefully find a way.

Meh. Auburn will have 3 or 4 third or fourth year players next year but I’m not super excited about any of them

College station is a hell hole and your shite stain has been running for 83 years straight Jimbo has been a complete fraud at Texas 8&4.

it's already practically not even the same thing as 5-10 years ago, and it's only getting worse at an exponential rate.
