Won't be saved this week. The temporary restraining order allowing multiple transfers without sitting out a year just became a permanent injunction. We just thought it was chaotic. Wheeeeeeeee!

I watched all or parts of at least 5-8 games every Saturday and there is nothing wrong with football. The only thing wrong is in the minds of people that cannot accept the status quo.

Ok get back to us in a few years when we are millions behind in compensation vs the other conferences. Paying players with no limits and endless transfers…wake up the current model is dying…Status quo?

Stop pretending like college football today is about school, because it isn’t.
Players who get into a school that they wouldn’t have otherwise, just because they are good at a sport, who get athlete friendly majors and lots of tutoring and other accommodations, many of whom have no intention of graduating.
As I’ve said many times, Clemson does a much better job than just about every other school promoting academics, and it is great to see our student-athletes excel. But it’s still ridiculous that athletes shouldn’t have to be the same caliber of student.
I realize I’m in the minority on this. D-III gets it right.

It's not just football...
When you get to college, you don't go to class, you don't do nothing, you just show up and play ... That's exactly how it was, you know, and I think that was the tradition of college basketball, or college, period, any sport. You're not there to get an education, though they tell you that.
The question is what are we talking about, honestly. I mean I have a check being written to me from the University of North Carolina for over $10 million due to the exploitation of me as a player and the lack of education that I received. The NCAA has a check for me for over $300 million to help me facilitate these sports education programs across the country. These are things that's in the works.

42 Bowl games .. and the hardest season ever to bet the games. Mainly due to the many portal transfers and opt outs due to the draft.

Its already going to be fine. Change is often hard to deal with, but it will settle in. It will be great watching Clemson for a long time.

I wouldn't even say college before football anymore. It sure isn't the same for me anymore. When you have to buy your team it's just not the same. The past ten years were so exciting to follow but I'm afraid them days are over. All about $ now
