Leaving the team high and dry right before the bowl game. SMH
There is no loyalty in college football anymore.
-
Ping!
He’ll do the same to whoever he plays for next.
There is no loyalty anywhere. We are a very self-centered Society.
No, there's not. NIL and the portal have ruined college sports.
If the NCAA is essentially going to make college sports a professional, paid league, they should force the students to sign contracts with their chosen school. It's what they'd have to do in the pro leagues, so why shouldn't it be that way in college?
“...NIL and the portal have ruined college sports...”
Most definitely....
NIL is even diffusing its way down to high school level.
I agree the players should have to sign contracts with the schools.
How about this? Just admit its a pro league now a feeder system to the greater NFL, etc. Also let the college\universities lease out their names to these teams so the schools can have a revenue stream. The fiction can be maintained (For those who are emotionally attached to that!) that they are “school teams”.
The portal that leads to Alpha Centauri?
I pray they reward his disloyalty with no attention whatsoever!! This is huge for sport!!
You want loyalty???? Buy a German Shepherd.
It would be much cheaper, and better “product” delivered for pro teams to start their own remedial type “college” league for physically and mentally able players.
Major league baseball has done that for a long time....the minor leagues.
Watching college bowl games used to be fun, now all the prima donna players skip them to avoid injuries which might hurt their future earnings. Paying players and the playoff system killed college football for me.
They need to just end the fiction that college football has anything to do with college. Make it a professional farm league for the NFL.
Allow actual student athletes to play in actual college football games against other actual students.
But that will never happen because the colleges make way too much money off the TV rights and merchandising, and the gambling revenue would tank. Another formerly great American institution is ruined by unbridled greed and corruption.
“NIL and the portal have ruined college sports.”
And gambling..................
One of the major flaws with college football is that there is no commissioner like the NFL has.
College football relys on a “committee” of which apparently no one knows who the hell they are.
As compromised as nfl commissioners have always seemed to be to me, at least there is SOMEBODY steering the ship.
NCAA football is so political I doubt it will ever have one person calling the shots.
And don’t get me started on notre dame.....those A-holes should be banned from bowl games until their greedy asses put the football team in a conference.
Very true. Gambling will probably ruin all sports.
Agree!
What a low-life, immoral thing to do. Who would pick up a guy with such low character?
I used to assume that some players still committed to the school, not the coach, or their best options for $$. Watching how PSU’s recruiting class evaporated was a bit of a splash in face/reality moment.
I don't hate the playoff system, but I do agree it has also contributed to changing college football. I actually like it.
Under the old system only the top two ranked teams (typically) played for the national championship, so -- in essence -- all the other bowl games could be considered worthless or unimportant. At least now the top 12 can make a run at the championship.
