Yes.  I'm not 70 yet, as you quipped above to another poster, but there are elements of that nostalgia that are inextricably tied to my enjoyment of the game.  And it hit me tonight that my game is gone.  I'm out, at least in the sense of switching to casual fandom.  I'll pay some attention if the team gets into the top 25, but I'm not following the offseason garbage, and it's time to be done with college football generally, in the same way that I abandoned college basketball years ago.  Better things to do with my time.

I've written about how I hate NIL because it's essentially impossible to implement in its true, reasonable, justifiable form.  Others have talked about the metastasis between "NIL" and the loosening of transfer rules.  Blecch.  I don't have a team to cheer for any more, in the sense that matters to me as a fan.  And it can't be fixed.  So I'm out.

Addison at Pitt was a jackhole for bailing on his team last year.  Extrapolate as you see fit.

If I wanted to watch pro football I'd watch the NFL.  But even there, free agency killed a lot of my interest in that game.

Sports is tribal.  Too much mobility destroys the sense of tribe, and my investment and interest.
