Starting to feel better about our loss to osu

- Start date
I’m watching the game loosely, but my interest level is about a 3/10.
Partly because bammer is at home, mostly because the game has been ruined by NIL/portal bullshit.

Unfortunately the NIL portal crap is not bullsit. In one form or another it’s here to stay.
Or we don’t.
We already had a sport with similar mechanics and rules where the players had ZERO loyalty to the teams they played for, the sport in general and the fans who funded it all.
No thanks.
portability for players isn’t that big an issue. It’s if NIL makes portability in making players mercenaries…. And that’s going to be true early on. But based upon the latest ruling on Title IX, colleges who are dolling out cash will have to comply and even it out amongst the genders…… BUT NIL collectives won’t, since they are independent and not in the university revenue stream
Its going to all even out with respect to NIL at some point, as return on investment won’t justify some the money being spent - so eventually the market will correct. And the teams who have the strongest fan following and/or money bag alums willing to burn $$, will sustain higher NIL flows….. and that generally will be the schools with mass followings …… ie the Blue Bloods of the sport
Chaos now…. But traditional power houses will eventually rise and maintain at the top - unless they have a crappy coach for too long and lose fan base for too long

I’m not quite sure of your meaning here, but NIL and the portal are based on US Constitution issues and some form of it will stay here. It may change but it will not go away.
Under the old system it was who was the best at flaunting the NCAA rules and getting away with cheating on them to buy the best players. AL was just best at it and benefitted the most. Other schools were close but not quite as good. In the NIL era everybody can compete if they have the resources because offering money etc. is not illegal anymore and not cheating. It’s do they have the money. Or not.
The players can operate in the portal more free. I don’t know what you were before you were a policeman but evidently you didn’t like it as much. So you went to school and became a policeman which from all accounts you prefer over your former job. In other words you entered a portal and changed what you did to something you liked better. You bettered yourself. Why should you deny a college football player the same opportunity?
Let me try it this way. NFL football is ok but I've never really been a huge fan because imo it's filled with entitled players and coaches with very few fvcks to give about the sport or their teams as compared to their own self-interests. That's fine but it's just not for me.
Further, the only real draw for the NFL, for me at least, was the college game. I enjoyed watching players in the NFL that I enjoyed watching in college.
I'm not saying that the NIL or portal are going anywhere. I'm saying that the sport is likely to become less popular as a result...because those interested in such a sport already have the NFL.
If NIL and the portal are greatly restricted, as compared to what we saw this season, then I think college football will be just fine....for a while.
