“They’ve already destroyed college football with the transfer portal and the NIL.”
The transfer portal has provided a means by which for college football players to play for a team that provides them with the best opportunities and the NIL has provided these athletes earn money like any other hard working American.
How is that destruction?
It’s turned college football into an NFL farm system.
All of the traditions that made college football great are gone.
Are they there to trade their athletic skills to pay for an education or simply there to show off their athletic skills and education is a minor concern?
Are universities platforms to show off athletics with a side activity of education or an educational institution with a sideline of athletic entertainment?
If it’s all about athletic skills, then the pro football & basketball leagues ought to foot the entire bill and provide a minor league feeder system like baseball does!
One season, then move on. How does that help a college program?
Just call college football what it is, a farm system for the NFL and eliminate the need for the players to even take classes.
