When you take a step back and look at what is going on, it's just complete nuts.
Not alone. The powers that be in college football screwed up when they ignored CF’s most uniquely attractive features, amateurism and devotion to alma mater. So you go ahead and pay them, bid on them, and let them move around year to year like stray cats. NFL in contrast is suddenly so much more attractive. Big time scheiss-up.
It was the legal system that caused it.
So somewhere around the early 1980's? Yet since that time period that the game has become infinitely more popular?
Rising costs? Inflation? What inflation? "Inflation is down"
Not tired of hearing it, as it needs to be said.
Negative, Ghost Rider. It was the hubris and greed of the networks, conferences, and the NCAA that caused it by pretending the employees weren’t entitled to a share of the pie. This could have been EASILY avoided by paying players minimum wage for all the hours they put in, and providing health insurance and worker’s compensation to deal with injuries.
NIL and transfer portal didn’t start in the 80’s.
Hope he makes it to Fall workouts.
No kidding, dude has a mortgage and a grandkid on the way.
Well Chandler Morris took Max Duggan’s QB1 job because he was good practice. When you put an experienced QB in there, sometimes good things happen. If Bowman wants to come back to Fort Worth, he has to be more attractive than the Seals kid. Scary thing is Bowman was a 4 year starter at Grapvine. That kid has a lot of snaps against high level competition.
Did you look at their schedule while looking at their stats? They caught Kansas, K-State and OU all at home (and credit to them for winning those games) and outside of that their schedule was really soft.
Theorizing that one could attend every school within his one college career, QB Alan Bowman stepped into the Transfer Portal, and vanished. He awoke to find himself in another conference, facing mirror images of teams that were not his own and driven by an unknown force to change college football for the better. His only guide on this journey are NIL boosters, recruiters from his own time, who appear in the form Bagmen that only Alan can see and hear. And so, QB Bowman finds himself transferring from team to team, striving to throw Touchdowns what once were INTs and hoping each time that his next transfer will be the to the NFL.
