Thoughts on College Football.

[Muddyboot]

The current state of College Football saddens me, the end of the Pac 12 and the many old rivalries that will no longer be played is a sad situation. I know it's all about the money, but this and all the other recent changes are hard on a long time College football fan to take.

What are your thoughts on the situation.

I love college football! Warts and all.

 

[KalamazooKid]

Agreed. I actually remember when the Big 10 was 10 teams! Not sure how this 18 team thingy is gonna work ….. GO BLUE!

Sorry, duplicate post.

Money takes the sport out of sport.

I have been a huge college football fan for most of my life, but I may not even watch a single game this year. With the instant portal and the NIL the ability to play the players, it will just be very cheesy, low level professional football. I might as well watch the NFL.

I'm not as big a fan as I used to be. Teams changing conferences constantly and a handful of teams always dominating makes it hard to keep track of, when you're just a casual fan. I grew up liking West Virginia and Penn State. We're an NFL town so must people around here are focused on that. Even though UB is a division I school.
Go Bills!!!!!!

I have never been a rabid fan of any form of football except when my school was playing, or Nebraska. My wife was the big Nebraska fan because we are both from Omaha. BUT, no matter what else, once you get past High School you have to remember that the "Bottom Line" is the bottom line no matter what sport, Pro, amateur, college, etc. once the games are televised.

I do have a hard time envisioning the "Big Eighteen" though.

Only watch my team, Nebraska, so not a big deal.

 

[DUSTYDOGDAN]

I no longer watch the NFL but will watch BSU on the Blue turf.

I used to be a giant college football fan. It gets a little worse every year in my opinion. The 100 bowl games. Players transferring 3 times in career. The money/NIL. Teams changing conference all the time. On and on.

I've lost interest in almost all sports since having more commentators than players became a thing. The nonstop yapping about mostly nothing doesn't interest me.

I, for one, am looking forward to the next Big 10 traditional rivalry game: Oregon vs. Rutgers. Whoopee!

This a very sad thing with the PAC 12. Too much $$ involved. No faith in George.

Gave up on the NFL a number of years ago and have become a dedicated college ball fan. Yes, I realize it as not as pristine as it used to be - if it ever really was - but I take it for face value and enjoy the opportunity to watch games from morning til night. Great entertainment from that angle.

Many not all players would be in prison but for the influence of their coaches and colleges. The student body coeds and all are sacrificed up to football team as victims for any desired crime. Special "athlete classes" that a corpse can get a top grade in. What is not to like?

I gave up on the NFL when it became all about me instead of the team. I gave up on college football for the same reason. Dancing and strutting about like you're the baddest player ever when you're down by 21 points just doesn't impress me. Every college player has a Nike swoosh on his jersey says it all. And now they expect to be paid--like free tuition is not good enough.

I was pretty unhappy when the Southwest Conference dissolved, but the team I followed continued to play with little disruption to traditional rivalries.

Texas continues to play Oklahoma.

This is why I follow the NFL, MLB, NHL, F1, the Premier League, college football, college basketball and college baseball.
