I’m guessing you’re not a fan of the transfer portal? I do like the fact that the players have more power over their own destinies now, considering all the millions of dollars their labor was earning their schools, but the transfer portal does seem a bit like a knee-jerk change. I’m optimistic there will be some changes to make it better. Like maybe they can only transfer once, between sophomore and junior year. And they definitely need to make players wait to transfer until after bowl season if they want non-CFP bowl games to mean anything
I actually dont mind the transfer portal although it needs governance. I hate the CFP and the road the whole sport is on to become a nfl light with two super conferences. I miss the regionality that is going away. I hate conference expansion in every capacity. I miss bowl games being meaningful to the teams playing in them, the rest of the country be damned. I legit dislike almost everything besides players getting paid
Edit: to be clear I hate the NFL and kinda always have, cfb was different and imo more enjoyable because it wasn’t so focused on the playoffs and postseason. I’m for sure in the minority. But my enjoyment of the sport has wavered significantly to the point where if my team isn’t involved I’m not watching anymore. I used to watch everything
