Yeah this is the sad part. The state of college football is the test case of what happens when you turn over all the power to teenagers and kids in their early 20s.
He set a record, then deuced out on his team, which really isn't his team because he transferred there.
I know the model is what it is and we have to play the game to compete. But the reality is the game sucks as it currently is. And Ward bailing on his team, then being allowed on the sidelines to continue in some weird coaching and helping give signs role makes no sense to me and highlights just how bad things have gotten.
Nothing surprises me now days.
I personally love to see this stuff. Just like the the bear sharks not making the playoff. It all adds to the ultimate demise of NIL/Portal
We are basically now the Cleveland Browns. We'll get some talent and we will compete. But we have no chance of being relevant or winning anything significant.
This is actually good. The worse things get, and the quicker they do, the sooner we'll see a correction on this pendulum swing.
The conspiracy theorist in me thinks the powers that be knew 20 years ago where college fball was heading so they let us win a little under Dan to feel good because they knew what our destiny was heading towards. Powers that be are the football Gods
We had a chance to be a 10 win team under the old system. The Big Guys would buy most of the top talent but we could find some diamonds and develop kids that were top talent level but needed more time. Now- even that has been taken from us.
Now we are simply bidding for talent against schools with deeper pocket books. Mississippi spent around $15MM for a team that won 9 games with a favorable schedule. We gonna spend $15MM for a team that has a ridicuous schedule with the winnable SEC games on the road so we might finish with 6 wins. The price will just continue to go up and we cant keep up with college football inflation
Baby want a bottle?
I mean. Who is going to fix this? The NCAA can't. Congress can't. The Supreme Court can't. The Presidents and ADs would have to come together to organize a new hierarchy to set caps, and rules and the Blue Blood ADs and a presidents don't want the playing field leveled. They want ALL the advantages. A new playoff format was created and nobody likes it because it actually worked by its design. Less than Blue Blood level Boise and ASU got top seeds and the best matchup is now #1 Oregon vs #8 Ohio State. So what will happen is #8 OSU will win and everybody will say: The 8 Seed won so it works to have more playoff teams. But is Ohio State really an 8 seed? No way. They are a Top 4 team. So, again everything needs RE-Fixing from NIL to portal to playoff format. What a freaking mess. And it started because of the stupid salaries for football coaches 20 years ago. So yeah! We should have seen this coming!
No, we were the Washington Generals in '24, with a strong possibility of the same in '25 with all these JC and Portal guys that so many on here say "or he will be a depth piece". Time will tell quickly. How good were the 11 Marshall players following Huff to USM? We should never play them at Hattiesburg under any conditions. Will be their Superbowl to start the season as we help $ave their program. Who set this up, a 2 for 1 deal? We should know better!
I plan to file for a copyright Monday for all P4 football jerseys. The name on the back will be a gigantic font so all fans in attendance can read them from all seats. This is the only way we can know who is playing for us year to year. The numbers can be smaller for use by the Refs. Heck, I went to Hail State roster early in the past incompetent season and never learned most of their names. Sad, miss the days of following young players from their Freshman year and watching them develop. I even remember going to the 4 or so freshman games as a young boy and hearing my late SuperDawg Dad say, "I can't wait to see that player in a year or two. He's really gonna be good."
100's of Millions being spent all across this nation by schools and Boosters just to say HaHa "WE" beat you. Followed by; mine's bigger than yours. The schools with the biggest money boosters will be the last ones standing. The top players only allegiance now days is to the money.
Now that the expanded playoffs are here, stop playing bowls. What sport has non-playoff teams play games in the postseason?
I think Ward should have opted out before the game, quitting at half time is a "quitter" who let his team down. Dumb decision whoever advised him even before the game.
This is just the beginning, college football has become spoiled and rotten.
I enjoy watching them and seeing the new players step up. It's like an extended spring training and with so much talk about how the game is becoming less clean, the extra practices help. And it is at least something not completely destroyed and a part of college football. Why does this have to be a carbon copy pro league?
I wonder how long it will be before a few opt out of playoff games? You know rock bottom has arrived when this happens.
The bowl games have been really good this year. Most have been very competitive and fun to watch. The kids playing in place of those that opted out are playing hard trying to earn a starting spot or attract attention of bigger programs. What else would you rather watch during the holidays? Hallmark movies lol?

What’s wrong with hallmark movies? :confused:
Give me the old days when a player says he's sitting the second half and hears "well this is your lucky day kid, you can have the whole game off so go ahead and bring me your uni"
To me, if I'm paying a player money in NIL I expect them to participate in every game with the exception of injury, death in the family, illness, or coach's decision.
That includes bowl games.
And I suspect that teams are going to start writing that into their NIL agreements.
A bowl game is no more meaningless than then other 12 games a team plays.
Coaches should start recruiting character. NIL contracts should include incentives/disincentives for bowl games, etc...
The kid took advantage of the system and he's the bad guy? The system is a joke. The people running it have and continue to be a joke. The NCAA is a toothless tiger. They will literally let people play college football for a decade now if someone threatens to get a lawyer involved. The NCAA needs to fold and be disbanded. And all the money they make (THAT THEY STILL REFUSE TO SHARE WITH THE ATHLETES) should be sent straight to charity. Disgusting organization profiting off the work of kids.
