[QUOTE="85Escape, post: 850178, member: 3560"] I've decided to switch my GT fandom primarily to Baseball, where most of the student-athletes are still...well...students. NIL and the Portal have made college football a semi-pro sport without the parity-driving controls that all good pro sports use (drafts, salary caps, etc.) There's too much money to be made and it has ruined the sport (and I'm not blaming those who are getting 'paid', just lamenting that money has become both the means and the measure of success, rather than competition driven by a love of the sport.) I was a rat in 1981, so I know what it is to root for a losing team. I take pride in it. But this isn't about the state of GT football. It's about the state of college football in general. I'll still follow casually, but college football is mostly dead to me. The passion is gone and it's been a year of grief and coming to terms with the loss. The game I loved has changed and I can't find my way to loving what has replaced it. Maybe time will help, but I don't see that happening. The good news is that I get my fall Saturdays back to do something that has lasting meaning and value. [/QUOTE]
