Playcalling? And then there’s Ohio State losing Brian Hartline. CFB is now beclowning itself, with teams now firing coaches mid-season because the successor needs to get an early jump on the portal, and coaches jumping early for the same reason. Ryan Day shouldn’t have been calling the plays to begin with, but the whole sport is drunk on tv and booster cash.

At least CFB should fix its own off-field schedule. At the rate they’re going, key players are going to take the check, hit the portal, and transfer at halftime lest they risk injury in the second half. The people who run the NCAA and the cash grab conferences don’t care. Because television doesn’t care. At at some point, fans will stop caring.

LOL- cash grab??? Hate to break it to you- college football has always been about cash, and lots of it...the only difference is today the people responsible for bringing in those huge revenues- players and coaches- are justifiably demanding their fair share and getting it...that and the fact unlike the past where you had one network (ABC) that broadcast two games every Saturday, there are hundreds of ways to watch games line or in replay.

Fans will never stop caring- that’s a foolish statement...
