Concern About The State of College Football

Let me preface this by saying this is my opinion and I want to hear others opinions as well.

My concern about the state of college football is increasing by the day it seems like. First off, the excitement behind the national championship and the games leading up to it have severely diminished for me. Seeing the same old teams every year gets old and I’m in the group of people who would love to see an expanded playoff just to give some other teams opportunities to win a championship.

Another alarming thing is the transfer portal. It remains to be seen how it will affect CFB in the long run but the transfer portal is decimating some teams and I think it’s hurting student athletes more than helping. Jumping ship because of playing time is understandable if you’ve been around for a few years but the number of 2019 recruiting class across the country going to different schools is huge.

My last thing I got is just about the upcoming laws being put into place for student athletes to be paid. Being a former student athlete at a small university, I’m just not sure being paid is necessary. Sure at the D1 level, these athletes undergo tough hours, but that’s college athletics everywhere. The amount of benefits, free stuff, special treatment, stipends, scholarships, and many other things that these athletes get should be enough. Paying college athletes will cause more issues than there already are. Recruits will go where they can get more money, schools will bend the rules every way they can, and different sports will pay their athletes differently leading to more and more problems internally inside of schools.

I’d love to hear your guys’ opinions coming from some husker fans and let me know if you have other comments or concerns. GBR!
