Big 12 coach admits college football is broken after missing out on CFP

[Middle-Eas]

College football's reputation is taking a hit, and I'm not surprised. The focus on money over winning is everywhere. Teams are making bank, but the actual product on the field is suffering. Players are getting poached for top dollar, which is driving away talented young athletes who just want to win.

I mean, think about it. Top players like Sam Leavitt are leaving programs after one year because they can get a better deal elsewhere. It's not even about loyalty or love for the game; it's about the benjamins. And that's not sustainable in the long run. The more you chase profit, the less authentic the sport becomes.

The college football landscape is changing, and it's time for coaches like Kenny Dillingham to speak truth to power. We need to find a way to balance winning with development and integrity. Anything else will just lead to mediocrity and disappointment.

College football's in a mess! I mean, think about it - teams are making bank, but the actual game's not even the same anymore . All these transfer portal shenanigans are just proof that talent's more valuable than loyalty. Players want that top dollar, and coaches like Dillingham can't compete. It's all about the Benjamins . The core values of college football - competition, sportsmanship, and education - they're getting lost in the shuffle. And it's not like anyone's holding teams accountable for it . Arizona State's patchwork roster is just one example of how far things have fallen . Can they even compete with Duke on NYE? I doubt it .

Stats don't lie : College football's revenue has increased by 35% since 2019, but attendance has dropped by 15% in the same period . Meanwhile, the transfer portal has seen a 50% increase in player movement since 2020 ️. It's clear that money talks and talent follows . Arizona State's situation is just the tip of the iceberg. A recent study found that 70% of top college football programs have lost at least one key player to the transfer portal in the past two years . It's a never-ending cycle of recruitment and turnover, with players prioritizing their own financial futures over team loyalty . Can we expect any changes soon? Probably not .

I'm really worried about college football right now . It seems like all anyone cares about is making money, even if it means hurting the players and the actual game itself . I mean, Sam Leavitt is leaving Arizona State just one year in to go play for another team because they're offering him more cash? That's not what sports are supposed to be about .

And don't even get me started on the transfer portal – it's like everyone's just jumping ship whenever things get tough . It feels like no team can really build anything stable anymore, and that's not fun for fans at all .

I think Coach Dillingham is spot on when he says the industry's "mess" . We need to find a way to make college football about more than just money . What do you guys think?

I'm so tired of seeing all these talented young players leaving for greener pastures . I get that college football has to make money, but it feels like teams are more concerned with attracting top talent than actually developing their own players . It's like they're just buying their way to the top instead of building a strong program from scratch. And don't even get me started on the transfer portal - it's like every player is trying to escape the moment things get tough . Can't we find a better balance between winning and developing our young athletes?

I'm so done with how college football has devolved into a cash grab fest. It's all about who can fork over the most dough to poach talent, rather than actual skill or dedication on the field . I mean, what happened to the rivalries, the excitement of watching your favorite team win it all? Now it's just a bunch of players jumping from team to team like they're shopping for the best deal at the mall . And don't even get me started on the NFL draft... Fernando Mendoza leaving after one season? That's just ridiculous! The Arizona State quarterback situation is a perfect example of this problem - Sam Leavitt has already made it clear he wants out, and now other teams are lining up to take him away from the Sun Devils. It's like they're more interested in saving money than winning games .
