Correct and that HAS to be in this discussion.

Would be interesting to see how many schools opt out of the league and forget that type of football.

I've said it before and I still say it. Make athletes be admitted to the school through regular admission channels BEFORE they can play a sport or get a scholarship to play a sport. Once they are admitted to the school and have made a team they can be eligible for NIL deals. If a kid thinks it is too much work for not enough return to play a sport, they can quit the team and pay their own way through school (this happens a lot in non revenue sports now).

The NFL would have no choice but to form a farm system and the NFL could pay players to develop into NFL players. College sports would be exactly that, college sports.

I like JC’s solution, but am in the jmac camp. I can’t control it, but still enjoy watching. I’m trying to worry less in ‘24 about what I can’t control. This falls into that category.

I will say, losing a game bothers me far less than it used to. Maybe it is the multiple natty games I’ve enjoyed, or maybe it is getting older, but I enjoy the wins and move on from the losses quickly.

I feel the same way! I guess it may be the success Kirby has developed here. I think maturing has taken some of the bite out of a loss. We also realize at this level the losses are even harder to overcome. I now see college football as an escape from the grind of everyday life! I used to take the losses much harder when i was younger, for sure. I am 57 now, so I have a little more perspective. Have a great weekend!
