Addison leaves Pitt for USC via transfer...reportedly NIL deal of $3.5 million. The poor kid might have to take a pay cut going to NFL. Can he opt out of NFL draft to stay in college in 2023?

Now Jimbo and Nick are involved in a cage match. This will be fun.

College football will be severely damaged if they don't somehow fix this model. You are going to lose huge swaths of national TV viewers. Who will watch in Northeast? Why watch? For what reason?...nobody can compete vs this money...You have no chance. The Mid Atlantic? The West?...outside of USC?  Parts of the South not named Georgia, Florida, Alabama??. Once again, why watch? So you can see your college FB team play the role of Washington Generals to Texas A& M or Alabama? Heck, the Washington Generals would have a better shot vs the Harlem Globetrotters.  Fans will lose interest fast and find other things to occupy their time.

I'm already losing some interest...at least nationally.

Yes, the networks will pay billions of $$ as sports are really the last vestige of live TV advertising. But will advertisers want to comply when they see abysmal TV ratings?...and the TV ratings in CFB aren't very good as it is. The NFL is king... has very good ratings...not so much college FB.

My guess is this sport has about two years to fix this mess. After that...its too late for college FB. Leaf raking will become popular nationally again. On Saturday that is...
