    Interesting take. I've always enjoyed watching the sport itself and watching athletes compete. Guess that explains why you're a big fan of NIL and transfer portal excitement. Product of social media addiction I guess.

    If hype is the only part that's worthwhile why do high school sports exist? Or really any team outside of the top 10?

    It's ok to enjoy both. The play on the field and the hype that goes with it.

    But without that hype you're bored, so why watch

    This is why college sports have sold out. Don't worry, your view is the more popular. I'm just intrigued by adults that care at all about things like hype

    Adults care about a lot of strange things. For instance, there are several grown adults who damn near have a stroke every time a 17-year old kid decides he doesn’t want to play football for the Gators.

    I hope so. Although I'm sure local media will find an excuse and will keep up the Coach Prime hype

    Jesse Palmer, what are you on? Travis Hunter? They can't cover any of Oregon's receivers.

    Yes tbh I've also wondered about that too. I'm hardly the most interesting man in the world but I've never had the time to keep up with or care about recruiting much.

    First, I'm a big fan of your NBN stances. Now, with the butt-kissing out of the way, time to bash over here. ;)

    I associate Sanders with the erosion of the "college" part of college athletics. At FSU, when a legislature passes a law known as the "Deion Sanders rule", you've made your mark. Now at Colorado, he's become the avatar in my eyes for the final dissolution.

    I'm willing to keep an open mind. I dislike Kiffen and Freeze more. And I read some quote about he wants 3.5 GPA recruits from good families. Though I was burned by Meyerspeak on that, so as the great philosopher Ronald Reagan said: "Trust but verify."
