Without Sports betting average fan doesn't care

about Ohio State vs Iowa game.....why would you, only mystery is if Ohio State will win by 21 or 35

same thing for an Alabama vs South Carolina game and so on and so forth, unless you have some "skin" in the game, alot of games are boring.

I am one of those that tend to believe that NIL, unhindered transfers (no sit out year), and general lack of punishment for violations by big money teams (georgia, bama, types) has made the NCAA who used to be THE LAW. look like a judge in NYC letting criminals out on no cash bail time and time again.

now that the speed of change is accelerating out of control with sports betting, gigantic coach salaries, huge buyouts, zero loyalty, and nothing but huge price increases for the average fan attending, where exactly does it end?

In my opinion it won't, i think it will simply continue to exist as this cluster freak until it implodes alltogether which will most likely coincide with the actual countries economy imploding, will happen on the same day. keep dreaming that ESPN/SEC will continue to write schools 120 million dollar checks because a contract says it, no one is getting another red cent when it goes down.

The NCAA destroyed it all.

They USED to come down hard. Their rules became overly complex and uncertain. I'm no Harbaugh/Michigan cheater's fan but they came down on Harbaugh for buying a dude lunch. That's just ridiculous.

They could've staved off a ton of these lawsuits with common sense changes. Cap the stipends at a much higher number, (250k would've been a much much better number, easy enough to market as well to congress. A million dollars and a free college education, who is getting ""exploited"" under that system?) Makes it fair for ALL P5 teams (if you can't pay a star QB 250k you aren't a serious program) , busting up these mega conferences that are slowly becoming a monopoly on FBS football. Allowing open season on the transfer portal instead of common sense rules. If a coach leaves a player can leave, absolutely legitimate verifiable serious family issues/ health issues, and of course the grad transfer rule already in place that incentives a guy to finish their undergrad. Or you transfer and sit out like how it used to be.

Now theyre a toothless org that does nothing more than take up money and space in our world.
