The sound stuff is getting out of control everywhere. I don't know where this is at AGCS because I haven't been able to make it back to Fort Worth in several years, but when I go to games elsewhere it drives me crazy. I went to a game at Kentucky this year and the sound system was insanely loud and played every second the ball wasn't in play. The Kentucky band played very seldom, and every time the Tennessee band played the sound system played over it. It was absolutely awful and I'll never go to a game there again. And I'm not old; I'm barely more than 40. The point to me is the destruction of tradition: you go to college games for the sights and sounds of campus. When the ball isn't in play entertainment should be the marching band. If the band isn't playing, let people talk. I don't care which helmet the football is hidden under on your jumbotron because I'm not a moron, and I don't need any help with hearing loss.
As for NIL from the first post, the system is crazy. I've said it before, but the players need to have revenue shares from the TV money: they generate it, they should keep it. It's insane to ask people to pony up for season tickets and everything else you pay for then ask for more to pay the players because you can't give them the literal millions of dollars you already have but have to spend on other stuff. I know it's complicated to reclassify players as employees, but there must be something more sensible than this. Classify them as work-study students with a revenue share subcontract arrangement or something. Just find the best work around title IX, get out of the equal scholarship requirement shackles, separate football from non-revenue sports in the budget, and pay the players the money they have earned.
