First, we have just witnessed the end of an era. We got to enjoy (Bama Fans) the greatest college football dynasty ever. EVER!! We all knew the end was coming but I know myself, I didn't want it to end. Wednesday was a gut punch for many Bama alum, fans and of course those players.
College football has always been my go to. I love it. Bama football especially. For the last two seasons I've thought about just not watching it anymore. I used to watch MLB until the last strike they had back in 1994. After they did that I was done. I don't like whiners. Pro football was more like WWE,... a lot of money and seemed fake at times. Like it was rigged. So after probably jr. high I just didn't get into it. NASCAR was my Sunday and Saturday night thing to do for a long time. I planned weekends around it. Then Brian France took over and ruined it. Making rule changes nearly weekly. It got old. So now college football for me is right there too. The NIL and transfer portal is ruining the game. I agree paying the kids some. Give them walking around money but pay everyone the same. The kids don't need 4 million dollars in school. That can come later. Let them mature some first. Plus paying them all the same will keep resentment down. If I'm a guard or tackle making nothing or maybe 30,000 and my cocky quarterback is making 4 million,... will I be resentful? It could happen. The lineman might not block as well at times to allow the high dollar QB to be sacked,.. Now with Saban retiring it is a good time to quit college ball. But I'm going to give it a couple more years to see if they "fix" it.
