Agreed, blow it up and start from scratch with new regional conferences based on proximity and location.

The last 5 years of College Football:
The implementation of NIL.
The popularization of the transfer portal.
Eroded conference regionality.
Devalued regular season games.
Eliminated conference title games.
Popularization of “meaningless bowl game.”
Got rid of the fun OT (ex: 2018 LSU-A&M).
Teams declining to play in bowl games.
Allowed transfers immediate eligibility.
CFP says fans opinions don’t matter.
Players suing for extra eligibility.
NCAA legally can’t enforce its own rules.
Corporate sponsor logos on fields.
Corporate sponsor logos on jerseys.
Corporate sponsor logos on helmets.
Players staying at one school is rare.
Cross-country travel for conference games.
NFL players attempting to return to college.
Tampering galore, highest bidder wins.
Tamperers reported = nothing happens.
Group of 6 schools’ best players taken.
2-minute timeout (extra commercials).
Eliminated clock stopping after 1st downs.
Rivalries eroded by realignment.
ESPN solely propping up the SEC.
FOX solely propping up the B1G.
13-0 FSU left out of 4-team CFP.
2-loss teams ranked ahead of 9-0 UCLA.
1-loss Georgia ranked ahead of 9-0 Utah.
BYU went 11-1 in reg. season, left out.
Rankings completely rigged for the SEC.
SEC rigging = declining interest elsewhere.
Declining attendance.
Normal fans getting priced out of games.
Parking’s exponentially more expensive.
Home-and-homes moved to neutral sites.
Constant roster turnover with the portal.
Fans lack personal bond to 1-year transfers.
Your favorite player probably transfers out.
Recruiting matters a lot less (they’ll leave).
Landing a big recruit doesn’t feel the same.
The word “committed” means nothing.
Preseason rankings/ratings skewing things.
Portal window overlapping with CFP.
Coaches have to recruit their current players.
Players “re-signing” during the season.
What is targeting? What is a catch?

Breaking: James Talarico has defeated Ken Paxton in the race for U.S. Senate.
He has become the first Democrat to win a statewide race in Texas since 1994 and the first of his party elected to the U.S. Senate from Texas since 1988.

Pnc CEO at @money2020 talking strong trash on how they will never let @Meta muse into their ecosystem. "Not gonna happen."
I agree with how often Facebook accounts are taken over.

Repost for a chance to win a game-ready ball from JV’s 2011 no-hitter, a bobblehead & a team-issued jersey!
Hilarious that after the story on the secret service causing audio problems @KirkHerbstreit mic hasn't worked. My assumption is that Dorito Mussolini is close to the booth

OTD in 1978, the Oilers lost to the Rams 10-6, but what was not lost is the memory of one of the most talked about runs in NFL history. Earl Campbell, a rookie bulldozer, with no respect to 8-year veteran LB Isaiah Robertson. Complete destruction. The kind of play they'll still talk about in 50 years. Enjoy this masterpiece #LuvYaBlue
