    It will still be around. And Alabama will be defending their 11th consecutive title. I’m sure they will pack the house…and Oregon will be a forgotten program because their mega booster is dead and Nike will not treat them any different than Missouri.
    So like Washington now?
    It'll be worse than Washington because no one cares about shitty schools in Eugene Oregon.
    Nike cares

    Hard to believe these players now have access to money AND free agency. That's like getting happy hour at any time of the day you want

    You're right about the motivation. But CFB as a whole is also dying. The two make for convenient bed fellows, but we're not wrong

    I remember when people asked us this when Jimmy Lake was still hip, cool, and 3-1. College football is full of lagging indicators.

    The article even goes out of its way to mention the trend over the last decade isn’t unique to cfb. Are you positing that all sports are doomed since they’ve seen similar decreases?

    CFB is charging professional prices for an amateur product. Especially if you have to donate to the school.

    Then there's the "UW-ification" of schools you wouldn't expect that from, such as Florida. Unlike Alabama they can't accept the U0 alums on this bored.

    Oregon fans don't have to worry about that though. UO druids would kill themselves to be Florida and Kentucky, let alone UW, UCLA, etc.

    It said there was a slip in most sports due to COVID. It said nothing about a downward trend in others sports like they show in college football. HTH.

    That article is pure fan fiction. A&M isn't doing shit on NIL. They are dropping bags, illegally, plain and simple. They spent the last 10 years working on their bag game in the SEC, topped off by their hiring Marshall Malchow from Georgia, who just got poached by Oregon. Btw, you can 100% expect Oregon to land the #1 class in the country next year now that they have Lanning, Malchow and Tosh.

    It’s funny how people think NIL isn’t pay for play.
