The End of College Football

will happen if something is not done immediately. I see all these portal players BIO's saying things like RB Joe Blow, has entered the portal or declared for the NFL draft. The BIO's continue by saying things like, "he played a year at this or that school, and a year at this other school and he has 2 years of eligibility left, when he gets to his next stop." The NFL doesn't even have an unlimited and uncontrolled free agency policy, if someone doesn't STOP it now, College Football as we know it will die, simply due to total non-competitiveness. The league knows if that unrestricted free agency would lead to a total collapse of any sort of parity and the NFL would fail. This is what's coming to College football, and it too will fail..

It’s a run away train right now and will end in a disaster. To late to stop it I fear.

I agree with both of you, if funds for the players health after football and a retirement fund would have been set up for the players and after they graduated that they could have dipped into I believe things would be very different now but it’s hard to put the money grab back into the basket.
Coaches shouldn’t be making a fortune coaching either, it’s out of hand with their salaries. Many of these coaches including Dabo would work for much less because they love the game but it’s too late once they start making over a million a year to coach a game.
It’s sad for every college sport and the weak workers of America now days. Nobody under 25 years old wants to work for anything.
They want to walk into a job making top level pay.

You can once again thank the Left Wing woke sports media for promoting this runaway train to the hilt with their constant “college football is evil for exploiting the poor oppressed black players and keeping them down” mantra. Congratulations. A solid example of how they and other Colin Kaepernick ### clowns have ruined yet another outstanding American institution.

Hold on. Let me get this straight. Conservatives are now against free markets, deregulation and the ability to earn unrestricted amounts of income based on your value to others in an open market? Or does this ethos only apply when it benefits your personal interests?

Any idea from a liberal is a bad one. Take Joe Biden for instance. Still waiting on one good policy decision. None yet.

Not so. This is just free market capitalism at work. Everybody is in it for themselves--the networks, the universities, the boosters, and the coaches. The players who make all this money possible finally stepped back and said "why can't we get paid too".

Which is fine, but if the sport is to survive at the level it is now you have to get some sort of parity. A fan without hope for their team does not watch.

Those players are paid handsomely and pampered...you must not have sent a child through 4 years at a major university...no probably not...these are for the most part not student athletes or what they get would actually be a blessing! Schools want to win at any cost...the Miami teams that won multiple natties went to the overlord section of Miami and bought felons to play football...few ever graduated and it was all swept under the carpet...illegal back then...NCAA turned its head for the worst offenders and molested poor little SMU who actually graduated athletes...now the fix is the rule of the day...your protest is noted and understood!

Dabo has been right all along...NIL, the portals, money being given away...these were never student athletes in the first place...they could not pass a college entrance exam unless they cheated...just wanted someone to feed, house them and give them money...same thing their whole life just different location...Dabo wanted kids who also wanted a good education..better men with character...not just characters...Deon clones everywhere...win at any cost...gambling, drugs, immorality...ain't college grand...just like home!

There’s interest, then hype. The interest is lower across many fans and teams.
The interest is in the story and the building of a program. Now it’s portal this, transfer that blah blah.

You are correct. I will watch our Tigers but have no interest in the playoffs this year and have not watched the playoffs since Clemson was involved. Note the level of my CFB obsession used to be off the charts. Loved it. Loved the conferences, the rivalries and the traditions. Now if Clemson is not playing I watch some but much less than I used to.
PS New Year’s Day is just not the same.

"college football". Sad. Now that all decisions are motivated entirely by money (and NO, it hasn't always been that way) with no consideration for the student/academic aspect, we're on a runaway train now.

It will crash for a while, hopefully they make changes that will improve the game & it makes a comeback going away from being semi-pro farm system and becoming a fan based game for fun.

Fan interest does not seem to have waned, if anything it seems to have increased.
I think only if tv ratings and in-game attendance take a dive then you might see some serious attempts at reform.

It's becoming playground ball. Each college should name a captain and just start picking teams. They will lose a lot of fan loyalty if you're running out a new team every year. FSU will learn this quickly. Their bowl roster is sparse.

The only way to do anything is for all of the schools to get tough, organize, and tell TPTB that they are there to educate, not finance semi-pro leagues. Enough is enough. Then, start cutting the ridiculous coaching salaries and other needless expenses. Athletes can play for free education and training, plus a decent stipend funded by a budgeted percentage of the profits made through athletics--including the money saved from cutting those salaries.
I don't believe for a second that any of them are brave enough to do it--or even think about it. But without school involvement, what is college football? No one wants to support a generic team.
To be honest, I am starting to care more about other sports and less about football. That's sad for me.

The transfer portal needs some tweaking certainly, but I'm not sure what the best would be. Maybe if scholarships were guaranteed for more than year to year you could hold the player accountable, kind of like an NFL contract. Offer 1, 2 and 4 year schollies and the player can't leave until he's fulfilled his. I don't know, just spitballing an idea that I had.
NIL I don't think will continue in its current form personally. Yes, I know it's just legalized the "bag men" with brown paper sacks of money, but the amounts of reported income is just insane. The people making these donations can't be seeing a huge return off of them, if any at all. Rich people didn't get rich by being stupid with money, eventually they'll want to see returns on investment. I don't know how accurate reports are of what athletes are making, I've googled top NIL athletes and found multiple sites with drastically different athletes listed and the amounts they were making varied just as wildly.
I don't think college football is going to die from the portal or NIL, because of the portal NIL will keep teams balanced, and because of NIL the portal will stay active. I think the biggest threat to college football as we currently know it is what the B1G and SEC are currently doing with their expansions. The more teams each has, the more power they wield and the less the NCAA has.

I have been saying this for a year. I thought it would take a little longer to get to the point of it being a complete chaos. We are pretty close at this point. Almost could care less who we sign anymore as half will be gone in 2 years.
