    I think going down to one transfer window is a good move and will help settle things some.
    I have no issue with NIL. So much $$$ in college football for a long time, just none (legally) to the players until recently. It’s overdue and deserved.
    But it’s clearly polarizing.
    It probably moves to some semi pro system with looser affiliations with universities.

    Exactly. It fucks almost all the teams out there and ruins any sort of surprise, Cinderella runs and excitement. At least college bball still have March Madness.

    Unlimited transfers and conference realignment also sucks big time. But as always, money ruins everything eventually.

    The 3 championship games since NIL was instituted have included traditional powerhouses like (checks notes) Cincinnati, TCU, and Washington. If the formula was simply paying athletes via NIL = wins, Tennessee, Miami, and Nebraska (all top 10 NIL collectives if you believe On3 rankings) would've at least made the playoff by now.

    Not saying NIL isn't a factor, but I think its impact is overblown and the pool of players making real $$$ off of it is way smaller than most think. 20yrs ago it was about who had the most Xbox's and swimming pools in their brand new multi million $$$ training facilities. Weird idea to me when players finally get paid (openly) and NOW the $$$ is the problem.

    I think Bball is worse. Only need to replace 5 guys via portal so it's brand new starters every year. At least we still get 2yr starters in football.

    At this point it’s elder abuse. This mornings game day was the worst I’ve ever seen. A&M fans were just repping Jesus signs and nothing funny or creative. Way too much advertising/corporatization of the whole thing. And Jesus, Pat McAffee is the biggest jackass ever. I actually think I prefer Steven A to that asshat.

    Agreed on McAffee. I am not entertained.

    Rough weekend for Ducks fans. Give Idaho credit-- they played inspired football and made very few errors. They hit hard and gave nothing. I thought they looked great. But the Ducks just seemed flat, like they going through the motions without any spark at all. And if that's our O-line? Well, we're fucked. Gabriel looked really good....not concerned about him as I think he'll loosen up. The D looked great as well. But that O Line...

    The O line was absolutely horrible, and that’s where you win games. Idaho players really came to play, but even so the Ducks looked off. Hope it was just a case of over looking a lowly opponent. I’ll be in Autzen next week for the Boise State game and I’m already nervous. Also both RBs tripped over themselves every single time they had a whole to run through. Need to establish the run to open up deeper passing plays. If the aducks can get by Boise State, the swamp rats are going to come out super motivated in week 3. Coaching staff has a lot on their hands in order to maintain expectations.

    Not sold on Gabriel, thought he was a decent place holder at his previous stop but hoping to be surprised when they take the training wheels off. At least they have Dante in the hole just in case.

    McAffee Is definitely over the top but he just gave our WVU boys $1mil. Even if it goes to hookers and cocaine, good on him. Always pick the red head.

    The Iowas/Utahs of the world would still be able to compete like they always have IF, players werent allowed to transfer willynilly. NIL imparts the exact same advantages to the exact same schools that always held those advantages. What fucks over Utah and Iowa is that as soon as one of their players becomes a star, or they start to develop team depth, those top players transfer immediatley to bama/texas/michigan/etc. If transfer rules from the 1990s were still in place, then Utah/Iowa/etc could still compete every few years with a team that has under-recruited players which great team chemistry.

    NIL has not fundamentally changed CFB- the bluebloods hold the same advantage they always did. Its the transfer rules that totally cut the legs out from Tier2 programs' ability to build veteran teams and develop talent for 4 years. The transfer rules have effectively made farm teams out of second tier teams, where they develop talent that then gets poached. NIL is there to fairly distribute some money to the onfield talent... the transfer portal has fundamentally fucked college football though.

    NIL will fundamentally change college football. Any program that raises enough money will contend. Different strategies will also yield very different results i.e. Clemson not accepting portal transfers, Bama + UGA more relunctant to offer big NIL money and focusing on tradional recruitment, Oregon + Ohio State 100% down with raising and spending as much NIL as possible.

    First visit to Autzen for the Ducks opener on Saturday. Righteous facility! Performance was clearly disappointing for the hardcore fans. Surprised by the number of medical emergencies we witnessed. Ninties is real heat for the Willamette Valley and a 3:30 kickoff left plenty of opportunity to party in the parking lots. We had 4 adults and 4 kids under 5 in tow. So survival was success.

    I went to NIU.
    It’s hard to pick who we hated more, Depaul or Notre Dame, but I think Notre Dame. We hated the fucking golden domers.
    Coach played for Northern and at the post game he was crying his eyes out. It was pretty cool actually.
    Well maybe I'm the faggot America

    I left the TV on while I’m getting ready to go for a bike ride and right now there’s a ginormous Notre Dame TV show going on about how great ND is. Lots of Lou Holtz mumbling, and shit.
    They just lost to Northern.
