Have most of you given up on football ?

I care less now than I ever have. I used to would never ever miss a snap or a pitch. When someone wanted to know what time we were playing I knew a week ahead. but now? I watched about 3 innings last night. I turned 3 of our football games off last year. It made Nick Saban decide to hang it up. All that needs to be said. If you think you know how bad it is, it?s worse

Greedy overpaid coaches like Saben and the billions being made by the corrupt NCAA helped cause this. I can easily see how all the players especially in FB & MBB deserved a fair cut in the eyes of the courts. I reluctantly joined the BI (small quarterly amount, but hope it helps) and the Portal is a no rules joke. Some players been on 3 different teams in 3 years or 4 in 4. Bet their transcripts and progress toward a degree are a joke even though Charlie Winfield says we still watch and adhere to this. Saben quit because he could no longer stack 4 and 5 star players on his roster anymore waiting 3 or 4 years to play. Ruined the mega rich hypocrite's playhouse. They are no longer student athletes at all. Put them on contract and end this free agent portal mess. NFL at least has a salary cap and can lock players up for a few years under contract. Used to be fun to watch young players develop in 2 or 3 years to be good college players, When I was a kid, even attended Freshman football games (couldn't play varsity that year), and watched with interest and sometimes excitement to gauge upcoming talent of players. Now you need a program every spring to see who's playing for you & what other colleges they have abandoned $$$$$$$.

BTW: AD Greg Byrne recently stated bama lost $40 million on non-revenue producing sports. How do you justify NIL $ for these type programs compared to FB, MBB, and baseball and hockey at some conferences? Title 9 looks to be losing its power. Women's Olympic soccer demanded equal $ to the men no matter the interest or results of the product. This is all a mess.
