the players started bolting to the NFL early,.. the hardship transfer waver was abused, allowing more and more players to transfer without penalty,.. the best players started skipping bowl games, team loyalty took a backseat,.. coaches had no loyalty to the schools, they said nice things fans wanted to hear, smiling lies, then left, following the money,.. the transfer portal opened wide, changing everything, one coach said something like, "we're afraid of the players now, make em mad, and they go somewhere else",.. .. don't get me started about NIL, it will be the death punch to the game we've loved

the players and coaches don't care about the schools,.. other than the $150 jerseys that they peddle us, which say LSU or Oregon, the college game has nothing to do with the universities anymore,.. the game has become about espn and fox sports,.. schedules and game times are dictated by them, network executives control the game we love,.. the only loyalty in college football comes from the fans,. and we're not appreciated,. what we want doesn't matter.. the fans are shit on by all of the above

so much about college football isn't about football anymore, it's horribly overloaded with unwanted baggage,.. for me the joy has been depleted

i think the NFL is my path now,.. it's more about football

Correct except for a cople of minor points. The NFL has been about the money so long it doesn't feel like it among the rush for cash in college.
The AD's and college presidents still care about the fans, ultimately their salaries are dependent on them. Also, the players were abused by the system(NCAA) for so long, some poetic justice is overdue. This is getting way past ridiculous though. But if you think it is bad in football, wait for the hoops.....
Screw ESPN, can't be there in person but if there was another way to watch my teams every Saturday......

yes, he really does,.. i wasn't excited when i heard Nix was transferring to Oregon,.. during our spring game he looked pretty good at times, but he threw 2 stupid interceptions,.. kinda like this game so far

we have a top notch QB in Ty Thompson,.. a five-star recruit, then rated the number 9 player in the country by Rivals … he's the first five-star quarterback ever to sign with Oregon,.. this guy looks good everytime he's on the field,.. i hope he plays a lot in the second half

our unis look great tho
