Give College Football a Letter Grade

[unc40]

I will give it a D. You have NIL gone wild, schools in conferences out of their geographic which has killed rivalries, ego-maniac coaches who only care for their bank accounts, players transferring all over the place, boring playoff games, and bowl games have no meaning anymore. There is some good with college football like the Army-Navy Game, the format to decide a national champion is way better than the old system, and Iowa home football games where fans and players wave at patients at the children's hospital is very touching and a great moment sports.

Overall college football is a mess.

[Push R Truth]

Everything is a dumpster fire but the games are still compelling. Unfortunately until we get to the point where most games are non-competitive, there will be little/no change.


And the Iowa Football wave thing isn't all sunshine and lolly pops. 20000+ people in the middle of a pandemic with the majority of them not wearing masks and openly mocking vaccinations waving for 25 seconds to a hospital full of kids that are immuno-compromised and have to live in bubbles is certainly something. But I'm still glad myself and my family donated to it.

D+.

They're f***ing up a good thing. NIL is what it is. It's way better that these mfs aren't starving than what we had before. It needs tweaking for sure, but that's how progress works: another problem always crops up.

Players transferring needs small tweaking, but for the most part it's nothing. Guys used to have to jump through hoops and sit out a year to move while a coach under contract could just bounce. You shouldn't let it get to where players play 4 years at 4 separate schools, but I see no problem with players moving freely. Kids change schools a lot, they change majors a lot. We've had graduate transfers before. Russell Wilson, Jalen Hurts, Joe Burrow. We've had guys like Justin Fields ultimately end up where it was better for him. It's not an issue yet. It may be in the future.

The governing body needs to do something about conferences. They've let schools make their own call and it's decimated basically all but 2 conferences in the Pac 12 and the Big Ten. The Big East was ths first victim a while ago, the SEC is bloated, the Big 12 is dead in the water. TV money is dictating everything, and the NCAA who was quick to snuff out a player's eligibility over shit like selling bowl rings will let the big fish f*** up their whole system and just smile a nod.

We've had pointless bowl games for 20 years. It's not a new development, but yeah a lot of them are just glorified scrimmages for sure.

I work security for college football games and the head coach is a massive toolbag who failed in the NFL. He basically treats any non football staff as beneath them and he constantly breaks the rules for his players. So with my bias I give it a D

Michigan beat Ohio St. last November. It's an A for me at least until September (and based on the schedule, it should be at least October). LOL

Could be interpreted as Harbaugh, as I'd believe that in a second. But it's Greg Schiano. That guy even looks like he's an asshole.

Ding ding, he's a massive douche for no reason other than he gets the highest salary at Rutgers. If you don't work for Football he's the most unpleasant person to be around and he orders us like he's king

It's funny how many CFB coaches, even at the lower levels, are little dictators with 0 moral compass.

I felt bad for Greg Schiano after he was let go at Tennessee because of their fans but don't feel so bad now. There must be something in the water at Rutgers because that school seems to have a reputation for having asshole coaches.

NCAA needs to actually do someOH WAIT THEY NEVER WILL.

F for f*** the NCAA.
