This and the transfer portal are disasters ruining college football. Something has to change.

I don’t know how this happened, but Division I college sports has become nothing more than a minor league for pro sports. I know that UCLA and USC have complained for over a decade about the distribution of money to the other Pacific 12 teams, which probably led to the dissolution of the league. Keyshawn Johnson recently spoke about the direction of people running Heritage Hall at SC. How can the ND-SC football game be cancelled? This is all about money, not tradition. College sports is a mess. Can it be fixed? The only way is to stop donating to the sports programs.

NCAA brought this upon itself by treating the players like chattel to be used to maximize $$$.

I agree. I admit to being very ignorant of the details, but seems like there should be some additional requirements to stay at a school for 2 years or lose eligibility on transfer for at least several games, if not a season. The way it is now, seems like it is too easy for players, even mediocre ones, to change schools every year, which ends up often not being to the benefit of the players nor the new schools. IMHO
