[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 982692, member: 4334"] Here’s my deal - I freaking love college football even though I fully understand that it has been totally corrupt for decades. And my team, GT, gets screwed by the NCAA way more than my team ever benefits from the NCAA. But I still love it because of the passion of the fans and the upsets that often happen. Seriously, will anyone say that todays system is worse than when editors of newspapers picked the national champion knowing they’d lose all access to schools if they didn’t vote for local teams such as ND, Bama, USC, etc. Everyone knew that ND or Michigan would get every vote from the north just like the Bear knew he could strong arm every reporter in the south. The sport is absolutely progressing with a real playoff system. The TV ratings and record TV contracts prove this. It’s still corrupt as we just saw but going to 12 and then the next iteration of 20plus will at least give more than 6-8 teams a chance to win it on the field. GT will continue to get screwed because we have a proven track record of bending over (why isn’t our banner up in our stadium from 2009? - because we are gutless). Now I get that every fan has a choice. You clearly are falling out of love with the sport. I get it. I used to love NASCAR but haven’t watched a race in 4 years now. I use to watch the NFL but now rarely do. But I accept that it’s a “me” issue and not the sport issue. You and I will be easily replaced by newer fans. My son is a 3rd year GT student. Did you see the student section this season? Those kids have suffered their entire college life under the previous guy. Guess what the portal delivered to them? A top tier college QB! Those kids have no problem with the portal or NIL. And my son laughs at the idea of national champions being “crowned” by a random poll. I also don’t watch bowl games like I used to but that’s on me not on the sport. I will however watch the playoff games because they actually lead to something unlike bowl games. Sure, I’m concerned as a GT fan of what the future holds for us as these changes happen but that isn’t a college football issue. That‘s a GT issue because we have made such poor choices over our history that we have zero power and control. That’s on us. I hope we get picked up when the ACC dies a beautiful death but if we don’t we have no one to blame but ourselves. We said no to the SEC and we said no to the BIG. The problem lies in the mirror.
