It's gonna get worse, look at all the guys missing on teams in the bowl games. Hell Oklahoma, once a powerhouse, has only 56 players playing in their bowl game. It's not just the NIL it's the Ncaa and of course our political leaders in congress destroying college sports!
I have no interest watching bowl games are playoffs. What a mess I'm just glad I love to hunt during fall to keep me busy.
Btw, college Basketball can recover easier than football because of the lower numbers, plus there are way more teams than football.
Lastly, kinda interesting seeing minor league baseball teams dropping teams, no money in minor league baseball leagues, look at the Braves in Pearl or use to be!

I agree some teams have a thin roster for bowl games.
The bowl games yesterday were exciting and competitive. A few games have gone into OT.
How many more basketball teams are there?
The Braves moved the double A team to the state of Georgia and now have all their minor league teams in state. Nil might eventually affect the minor league system some.

Yeah I'm with you. I've maybe watched 2 qtrs of playoff/bowl games. I'm just about sick of the mess. I love coming back to campus in the fall but the sports mess just taken the fun out of it.
I also love to hunt; I've had a good year hunt wise - got 2 - 10 pt bucks this year.

134 teams
On paper, 134 FBS programs.
On the field, about 80-90 max.

Two 10 points is an awesome year! I shot an 8 point, passed on a really good looking 7 point yesterday, hoping my wife can get him.

Yeah I've only killed two good bucks in same year one other time. Funny thing is been since 2018 since I've killed a good buck and got two same year. Feast and famine in hunting too, like sports it seems.
