Fisch feels like a great hire and he was building something at AZ. Different path than the Rick or DeBoer win with others guys model.
But it all feels greasy AF and college football needs a major overhaul.
As Churchill said, capitalism is the worst of all economic systems, except for all the others. Capitalism has fucked college football, comrades.

It's semi pro now and has little to do with colleges. -

We’re supposed to say fuck perspective but your perspective has been en fuego this week.Doog_de_Jour said:
Anybody who gives anybody shit about mourning the loss of the college football of their youth is a grade A asshole or secretly broken up about it too but the culture of this shithole forbids any vulnerability. So actually, they’re the pussy.jecornel said:College football wasn’t supposed to evolve like this. Call me a pussy, I don’t care. But I’m salty about it. Oh well times have changed.
You’re not alone, @jecornel.
I rewatched the movie Moneyball last night (which is why I’ve been referencing it so much). One of the grizzled, jaded old coaches makes the comment (and forgive me for paraphrasing) about finding out when the game (of baseball in this case) is done, “some guys find out at 13, some at 40…”
He was referring to being a player, but I think the similar idea could be applied to being a fan. It’s actually rare for someone to be a lifelong fan. Between changes to your team, the league, or in your own life (marriage, job, kids) most people usually walk away at some point. -
Does any else recall the Paint the Campus White Program from the early 2000’s?JetFuelSteelBeams said:As someone who has fucked on that campus in the distant past... I can say this program needs a collective penicillin drip stat.
I could elaborate but would really prefer not to. -

I miss the old times too, but fuck it, Dawgs gotta eat. This is the modern college football reality. Dannen better have the next coach targeted and teed up. Fucks like Sexton make that priority one. To use Dedouche’s platitudes, it looks like UW is built for this …. again. Don’t forget, Hurrying Hugh took a pay cut to play pro ball.jecornel said:College football wasn’t supposed to evolve like this. Call me a pussy, I don’t care. But I’m salty about it.

It's semi pro now and has little to do with colleges.
Boosters will still exist
1. Because you can either take university salary or university salary and booster money on the DL.
2. Contracts will never work because why would players sign a multi year contract with one team if another will offer one year deals? Why should a 5* qb that signs with a school and redshirts, play backup the rest of their career because the school signed a better 5* the next year?
If you're going to make it semi-pro then you would to eliminate colleges from the occasion entirely, and it would get even more complicated once you factor other sports into the mix. -
Contracts would be conference or league wide ( big, sec, etc.) and reflect interests of the schools and players. TV company/conference/school would be partners, wouldn’t replace NIL but players could not just hop teams every year.bigcc said:
