I want to win this game so bad. Every time we have a major transition changing game we come up short. I’m looking at you Penn State and you Tennessee and you Louisville. Winning this game would be our knock on the door that everyone would hear.

I hear you and get it. But the seismic shift stuff has been happening for a long time. You know what was a real seismic shift that created haves and have nots and led to decades of fake Nattys? Paying players under the table while the NCAA played blind. This led to the emergence of a caste...

I think this is the kind of out of the box thinking that smart schools should be doing. Just like Cal putting up billboards.

I get it and nothing makes me explode anymore because we all have seen it all. Who would have thunk that UGA would have an engineering program all so they could recruit against GT. It worked as they went back to back. And the Governor and Legislature love it. As for more eyeballs, I think GT...

All these are awesome ideas, but you gotta remember this one simple golden never changing constant - no matter what system any of you implement teams and schools will cheat that system. That is why I support a system with essentially no rules. I have lived my entire life with a college...

All you have to do is look at how the ACC handled FSU being left out (an undefeated conference champ). That is a perfect example of totaling letting your conference flap in the wind. The league office did the absolute bare minimun. A tweet by the commish and then a ACCNetwork interview while...

But folks are talking about how the sport is being ruined and is doomed yet, as you agree, the sport is strong from all perspectives. To me, folks are simply being negative because they don’t like the changes so they whine and act like the world is ending. College football has one of the...

It’s all marketing and the guys who run the SEC and BIG have run circles around ACC leaders for decades which is why the majority of best players have signed there. Thankfully NIL can now overcome years of indoctrination by the media.

I hear you. And I agree that certain schools may implode who overpay or get into debt to win. But the sport will not collapse even if the top 20 teams all collapse. Look at past top 20 rankings when you see teams that are nowhere near the top 20 today. The sport didn’t collapse, the names...

So what metric do you have that leads you to believe the system is going to implode? I don’t necessarily like where it’s going either but the ratings are up, the expanded playoffs will allow more fanbases to stay in the hunt longer, and a real post season will create an entire month (December)...

The gravy train is no where near maxed out. Ratings are up. Excitement is up. Just because a few traditionalists are getting up there in age and don’t like change doesn’t mean the sport is dying or maxing out. My son who is a current GT student and all his buddies love this new era. They...

I don’t have defend anything. It’s just my opinion based on everything we’ve all witnessed the past decade. My opinion is that within 4 years teams will be leaving or will have left the ACC. I have no concrete proof of anything just like I have no concrete proof we will beat FSU or lose to...

Musical and forensic, both great posts. But please remember your angst of today over this system is the same angst many, like me, have felt all throughout our college football fandom. That you guys are now waking up to the absolute corrupt system doesn’t mean the system will implode or is not...

We will see won’t we? Look back 4 years ago from today and no one would have predicted a 12 team playoff, Texas/OU in the SEC, USC/UCLA/wash in the BIG or SMU/Cal in the ACC. You guys who are living by the GOR until 2036 are living in fantasyland. It will all be negotiated like every contract...

Don’t worry. The ACC is absolutely going to die. The GOR tied to 2036 while maybe good intentioned when signed also locked the ACC into an unknown death spiral. Now, a few short years later our top 2 teams are suing to get out and several others are surely having back channel discussions for...

I think you’ll see many schools jumping up the recruiting rankings and many others falling once we get a few more years into this new era. I think Notre Dame could be one. They have fallen, much like GT, in the pecking order the past 30 years because they have some ethics. I’m sure they have...

Stinger, I hear you, but CFB isn’t on the verge of a chaotic system, it’s been a chaotic system for 50 years. Did you not see Georgia Tech get out on probation and lose a conference title while Auburn bought Cam Newton and UGA enrolls players who can barely read? The last 50 years has been a...

The problem is your scenarios, while I would love to have those options, will never exist because coaches and fans want to win. People will ALWAYS fInd a way to cheat. And if you don’t think the Ivies recruiting isn’t cut throat with under the table “educements” then you are crazy. You can...

That’s right now. We are literally in the infancy of the NIL era. How long did it take for most schools to adopt a full offense of throwing the ball when that was made legal? Answer - decades. Many schools are just now getting their NIL system up and running, so of course, schools that have...

NIL is what will finally bring parity. I love it. The top players will now have more than the usual top 10 schools offering them money. And the top teams no longer have the NCAA to protect their bag men system. Saban recognized it and retired and is now very vocal because he sees that the...
