The End of College Football?

It’s not the end…but only because the end already happened when they got rid of all the transfer sit-out rules and brought in NIL almost simultaneously.
This is just the scene that rolls after the end credits of the Marvel movies. Purely the aftermath.
Not necessarily true. For one, he’s anonymous so no one definitively knows who he is. But secondly, he can still maintain eligibility in certain states, namely California. That is why many are speculating that it is USC commit Malachi Nelson, who is the #2 QB in the 2023 class.
But at the end of the day, I doubt whoever it is really cares. Would you give a **** about your senior year of high school football if you were already a millionaire?
This. Not much will change for me.
The only time I would have ever considered paying a player was if it was baseball, and was helping subsidize his scholarship. So I certainly won't ever contribute to any NIL fund.
Once the playoff is expanded, it will help this tremendously. 12 is the minimum. 16 preferred. Nearly 20% of NCAA basketball teams get in, and if we had 16 in football, that's only 12%. Don't think it's too much to ask.
This would be the greatest spectacle in American sports.
I’m with you….at least for college football and MBB. College football was already a pretty bad product due to lack of parity even before all the recent reforms. Now, its going to be just a joke. There will be 10-15 NFL Double-A rosters, then a bunch of teams without a prayer of competing. Expanding the playoff isn’t going to help at all….before, we stood zero chance of making a 4-team playoff. When the dust settles from all this in 5 years or so, we won’t be able to make a 12 or 16 team version either.

Should we be surprised? This is America. Money matters. I recommend being rich. I don't recommend being poor. I was there once. It's not fun. When you're rich, you get to do a lot with the extra cash which includes maybe making your favorite college team better. So many college football recruits are poor and we depend on them for emotional satisfaction on weekends in the fall. It was only a matter of time before the insane amount of money being made on and thrown around on college sports gets distributed to a few more people.
Why? It benefits us more than it hurts. We will have a constant stream of ex-4 star upperclassmen flowing in from Alabama/Georgia/LSU/Texas A&M/Auburn that want more playing time. It's like how JUCO used to be, where a MS JUCO would bring in a P5 transfer then we'd keep them at home. Our advantage now is simply that we are in the SEC, and have the PT to offer. NIL is obviously a concern, but the transfer portal is a net positive.
