Yep. Early 2000s everything felt like the main event. Mainstream coverage and chasing more causal fans instead of building your base ruined the sport. College football is very close to following a similar path. And NIL/Portal is just a symptom of the problem.

Return to promoting each individual game and focusing on it like it's your only care for the day rather than nonstop playoff advertisement and it will slowly fix itself. No one who watches State vs. Arkansas wants to hear about playoffs all throughout the broadcast. Call the game.
