I used to really enjoy going to afternoon games on an Indian summer Saturday. Not long ago all games were held on Saturdays. Then they slowly spread to other days of the week. Then the daylight afternoon games disappeared in favor of bigger TV audiences at night. Who wants to shiver in the Fall when the sun goes down?
The very few, rare and special college bowl games morphed into 40 nearly useless bowl games.
Then came the crowning blow - the playoffs in lieu of the honest bowl games.
All of this completely ruined college football.
The decline of football will be in direct proportion to how diverse this nation is.
Unfortunately there is nothing honest about the bowl games. The schools are required to purchase thousands of tickets at premium prices and the schools (taxpayers) have to suffer the shortfall on the unsold ones, of which at the smaller schools is many.
And that’s the way it is. Roll, Tide, Roll.
Fake news if you’re a Dawg fan.
