We are going to long for the "good old days" unless our favorite teams/schools join a big money conference AND embrace NIL cash flowing to 18yo five-star athletes. The "portal" took away good bench players waiting their turn (depth) and scholastic requirements being lowered or eliminated took away the myth that these kids are expected to be "students". TV money is in charge and probably can't be taken away. The thing that made college football unique was playing for the love of the game. That's fucking history.
