Fools and their money

Why wish harm on the kid trying to get life changing money? The judge is the bad guy for using his important position to help his football team win games. He's the POS, not TC

It's the future of college football. It cant sustain for us- but for the big dawgs they are fine with it

Nascar was the greatest business model therre was. Until they started raising prices so much because the drivers were getting filthy rich even before anyone knew who they were that peeps quit going to the races and others just quit watching it

Nascar lost Earnhardt senior. Thank goodness junior was around for a while. Then nascar started screwing with the cars and made the racing lame… hard to pass…. hard to drive. Nobody wants to watch cars going in circles with no passing. I was a huge fan but it died for me when junior hung it up and the racing sucked.

That's cool with guys like you. You just mad it wasn't us that did it to them. I get pretty riled up in game threads, but actively hoping guys get hurt bc they don't play for my team is pretty sick

Sure but NASCAR still exists just less people care about it

Hey I used to be a big fan, Jeff Gordon Fan, never missed a race that was televised but after he retired the races esp with the very young drivers just seemed to be very hollywood produced.

I'm right there with ya. I moved my fandom to the next guy up in Chase Elliott but its not the same. Very rarely will I put a race on any more. Watched the end of the Daytona 500 because I realized it was on and had nothing else to do. Couldn't even tell you where they raced this past Sunday.

Like any sport, if there is no emotional investment, then the ties to keep the fans around are basically 0.

He has lane at home next season. If he loses that game, he probably won't last long... they'll hate him if he loses to lane

LSU got any billionaire alums? If not, too bad. They can't compete with the B10 teams. SEC is done winning natties until this NIL nightmare is over.

I think the SEC will adapt in time. They always have and they always will.

LSU does have billionaire alums. Todd Graves is rumored to being groomed by the NFL to take over the Saints when Gayle passes away. It will be interesting to see how much he focuses on LSU once that happens and if that happens.

According to a guy on my saints' board, that would prevent him from giving to lsu nil. No idea if true

SEC will adapt but we may look back, but the Big 10 has way more money, and when they are winning, they generate more TV revenue.

Lots of SEC schools have multiple multi-millionaires. And several do have billionaires.

Walmart just joined the Trillion Dollar business club. But just how much are the Walton heirs giving to UArk? No one knows, but Arkansas football is a bad investment right now. So is Mississippi State Football a bad investment. Neither school has Administration willing to commit completely to those programs. Maybe they are waiting like many in here for the current system to imploded and crumble under the weight. Or maybe they don?t want their universities to crumble under the weight of trying to keep up with this version of college football.

Powerful universities $450 to $500 million in debt! In a country $38 Trillion in debt! Bailouts for Universities aren?t likely to come in 2028 like they did for banks in 2008-9!

Yep and a correction will come at some point - either by free market or a collapse the house of cards.

The gov, our schools, and down to individuals are over extended. The bailouts will not continue. At the end, our money will be worth nothing and we will all be poor.

Same same same.

Have you watched the Prime documentary on Earnhardt?

Nascar's problem was a few things that College football has been following for a bit now.

- Overcommercialization. The fact you can't watch the entire live action of a race is insane. Fox is dialing it back a bit with green flag as much as possible (local commitments being the one full screen ad) but they long ducked it with that. College football keeps seeing espn expand the commercial timeout more and more and more. And now jersey patches are coming.
- Bland. Soul-less personalities. Every driver these days is a corporate trained cookie cutter reactor. Kyle Busch doesn't even have that much personality anymore. Bubba is probably the most personality out of them and he's basically white bread with his personality. College football luckily isn't following this tooooo much yet.
- Focus on the Championship rather than the individual events. This was the BIGGEST demise of NASCAR. They killed the golden goose by searching for a game 7 moment instead of realizing that they shouldn't chase more fans - they should stick to what works. Full season points to award a champion. Emphasis on drivers going for the win that week. Every individual race should be more important to the fan than the championship in motorsports. In college football we have this same exact problem. 20 years ago had some better attendance because it's about every game - not just the trophy at the end. Currently the playoff is leading to a temporary boon like NASCAR saw. But the core audience is slowly drifting and the fickle audience won't stay forever.
- Poor Camera angles on TV. Actually this is NASCARs worst problem. It sucks as a TV sport when cameras got better / faster. You no longer feel the speed as the camera keeps up with the car battle to show a clear advertisement. College football luckily doesn't have this problem much but I fully stand by everyone should flip to prime vision angle. It's so superior to watch.
- And the most well-known one. Pricing out the common fan. Economy is crunching hard on middle class and just like NASCAR rising prices through the housing crash ended families making weekends out of going to the races in droves, college football is on the precipice of doing the same during this covid fallout inflation that we're still reverberating from. NASCAR didn't think it would be so bad in 2016 after being so great in 2011 and feeling a bounce back. Where does college football end up 5 years from now?
