Packing for my recruiting trip at this early hour talking with my wife about…THINGS…has me feeling some type of way.
In my opinion, the principal problem in college football today is that it has morphed into a disorganized, quasi NFL model that’s ill-governed by rules/regulations designed for a “student-athlete” system that’s unfortunately becoming obsolete.
Again, it’s my opinion that the academic focus of student-athletes nationwide in college football has taken a backseat to all issues/concerns/drama relevant to the transfer portal, conference realignment, and the coaching carousel.
Either we’re about educating young people through sport, or maximizing the financial earning potential of young people within an educational realm using grades/eligibility as a requisite to participate. Attempting to do both is why college football has an identity crisis and why chaos is widespread within it. Rules and guidelines must match both models for a harmonious execution ensuring a better college football experience for all parties involved. Pipe dream? Maybe. But the current way we’re going is unsustainable.
Needless to say, operating under this penumbra is hella frustrating, but, hell, what do I know? I’m just a stupid football coach packing for a recruiting trip that starts in a couple of hours🤷🏽♂️😂.
