Uniforms, traditions, rivalries, how you play the game and compose yourself during a win or loss - these things help to bind us to those who have walked the same path before us, and will walk that same path after we are gone.

But now these kids are self-serving businesses, brands, spokesman, and wannabe social media moguls, seemingly long before they are just simple football players. The passion and substance, just playing the game for fun, for love of what you do, your teammates, your friends and your pride... Is slowly evaporating.


And this, for me, is why my soul has this fading connection with college football. We're becoming TOO bottom line focused. Far too money driven as an exclusivity. I'm all for people not being exploited, but the fact that these avenues are likely being discussed among Caleb and his team (not his football team, his imagine consultants, wealth management, PR folks) is a new era mentality I'll never be able to find myself condoning.

Again. This has been happening since CFB was invented. Only difference now, is that it’s above board. Without NIL, all of this would’ve continued and we just wpull feign surprised when a star WR or DL posted his new BMW or Corvette to IG. Or said nothing to see here, when a star QB or CB posting with brands anyway, but instead of being blatant, itd just be a hash tag. Bottom line was important when there programs hoarding all of the talen throughout almost all of CFB. It shouldn’t be a surprise that almost every decade there’s been teams with ignorant amounts of talent in CFB in comparison to their rivals. Let’s not act like Nebraska Or Oklahoma had such prestigious institutions to where they’re recruiting kids from ALL OVER the country to attend class at the sprawling metropolitan cities of Lincoln and Norman
