Chip Kelly stepping down

I think we will see more of this stuff. It's unsustainable and this is the first offseason where I've really felt like we might see movement in changing it.

Saban retires, Harbaugh leaves for the NFL, Tennessee and Virginia trying to take the NCAA to court, Boston College HC leaving for the NFL and blaming NIL.

The only thing that would have moved the needle anymore was Saban steamrolling NIL on his way out and/or Kirby leaving for the NFL.

UCLA football is like Miami without the recruits.

I agree 100%. Many of us have stated from the beginning that this is not sustainable since the NIL and transfer portal BS started. The product is going to start sucking due to the top coaches bolting for NFL positions and retiring early. Fans will become much less engaged due to not having a clue who the players are each year on their teams.
It's a downward spiral. Hopefully change is coming because it's a sad situation now.
