This is why I think college football is going down the same path as NASCAR did back in the 00's. They have fundamentally changed the sport with the NIL, transfer portal, and ever-changing playoff system. Nascar ratings got huge and the sport became insanely popular, but then they went and changed the points system, introduced a playoff, the Car of Tomorrow, racing at tracks outside the traditional ones, etc. Then the economy crashed in 08 and that was that. In game attendance is dropping nation-wide, and fans like you and me are starting to check out due to the game that we loved is completely changed. CFB TV ratings might be higher now then ever, but like Nascar in the mid 00's, the cracks are there if you look.
