NCAA Football 2024 (2 Viewers)

I thought it was an entertaining week. And you never know what you are going to get from year to year. Who would have thought that the pathetic Florida St. team from last year could beat Bama? Or that Arch Manning would look so awful. A lot of bad but inevitable changes have been made to college football but is still more entertaining to me than any other sport.

I respect your opinion and to each their own.

From an athletic and sport’s perspective it is great but none of it is actually affiliated with anything having to do with college.

It is minor league football.

It always has been semi-professional. Now they just acknowledge it. The SEC dominance of the last couple of decades was predicated on rewarding players with money under the table and having no academic standards. At least now there is a level playing field. The rivalries and regional flavor of the game make it more interesting to me than professional sports.

Rivalries are great so long as they involve some sort of impassioned reason for the student athletes attending a school, i.e. academic reputation, post graduate earning potential, alumni, location etc.

In my opinion, “this school or that school offered me more money to go here” is not meaningful when it comes to regional flavor.

Forgot to put in here, WTF on the spitting by the Gator that basically cost them the game. Why is all of a sudden spitting on an opponent ok. First he NFL (btw no suspension................). This should not be tolerated, I don't care if you have remorse or if provoked, or whatever, it is just not a normal reaction and should never happen. Disgusting and it disgusts me.

People are out of control IMO.
