College football is broken but you can’t let these kids hold you hostage and run things

I hope all the schools I hate are the ones who do the right thing to draw the line in the sand tbh.

Tennessee handled this perfectly, "We ain't paying that, good luck down the road."

The biggest reason this blew up, however, isn't the money. That's not going away and people need to get over it. The problem is the portal. Unrestricted annual free agency is what's going to be the death of the sport unless it's reined in. Fix that and the problem is solved.

It’s mainly the agents who are screwing things up. They are treating College players like they would professional athletes.
They are peddling players to different universities and encouraging them to go with the highest bidder, everything else be damned. Easy to sway young minds and their greedy handlers.

I agree, but also see this as a good thing and hope it becomes a trend. These programs are being held hostage by 18-20 year olds with inflated senses of self-worth and it’s becoming unwatchable. Almost as bad as the NBA.

Rein in the portal ... again, IMO that is the biggest problem, not the fact of players getting paid ... and those roaches will have to scurry somewhat back under the cabinet.

Isn’t their spring game today?

What an a-hole. These morons are burning bridges they’ll never rebuild.

Humor?

Sometimes the system is so broken that laughing is about all you can do while you wait for it to change. Hope congress and NIL governance can save the sports we love, but I’m a bit skeptical.
