The era of exciting football is over. No more days of small conference teams upsetting the big boys. The days of Temple beating VT, Navy beating South Carolina, Appalachian State shocking the world at Michigan and a few dozen others - used to be 3-4 of these a year, are over. Now there are no more experienced teams around that have developed their talent to pull the upset. As soon a good players are developed, they are bought out by the big money teams. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The NCAA has killed the goose that laid the golden egg. The big schools wanted to monopolize the great talent and now they have done it. Now it is a very boring landscape. The excitement throughout the land that used to be at every football playing school has been doused. Money has killed it.

I'm with on this. The haves and have not gap is so wide now with NIL will be nearly impossible.
Another thing I fear is a scandal with someone paying NIL to rig games. I have seen several head scratching plays, calls and penalties already this season with high level CFP teams that makes me wonder if that's not already the case.
We may find out one day it's all just championship wrestling.

Yep. The mafioso has already appeared and got its hands in it. Rigging games. Gambling now is really gambling.
