I sure hope that my beloved college football as a sport endures through this current sweeping sea of changes, and somehow it still remains "college football'.... However, between all of the new things being introduced, (NIL, and the transfer portal, and don't forget there will potentially be brand new can of worms Title IX lawsuit problems coming up via the new NIL deals) along with all of the real problems that the NCAA has botched up time and again at every single turn for the last 50 plus years?, I am now genuinely concerned that the sport that I grew up with in the late 1960s, and throughout the 1970s???, is beginning now onto it's final run. These days, the numbers are actually showing that there are fewer, and fewer parent's who are still going out and signing up their 5 year old, and 6, and 7 year old sons into any kind of little league football at all. Fast forward that shrinking pool of boys to ten years later?, then those same boys would now be 15, and 16, and 17 year old football players?, their numbers will also shrink too, then just four years later?, those are the same young 19, 20, and 21 year old young men that WON'T be playing anywhere in the college football world, and add to that the whole NFL problems with the brain injury "CTE" crowd that wants all of American style football banned period, and there still are lawsuits (I am told that they are mostly tied up in the courts) and then with no new real "good" news to report on??? I really do fear now that I just may live long enough ( I am 59 years old right now) to see where football at all levels will begin to "contract" (shrink) instead of expanding anymore. I truly do love college football, and the sport of American style game of football in general. I really do see where it (American Football) is in real jeopardy for it's very existence to even remain on the planet into the not too distant (perhaps another 20-25 years?) future. I hope I am overreacting and that I am way off in this.... just one man's amateur, (and yes, it is a negative), but I believe it is also just a humble opinion.
PS - While they are still here now for this fall coming in 2022?? GO DAWGS!!!!
Is the NIL info/contracts available for public knowledge? If so someone needs to do an article on which players at each school are being paid. Include all the schools and if possible include this years class. Lets get all the cards on the table and see who is really being truthful in all this.
Those with the most money generally call the shots.
