professor ronically, at first I was supportive since these "kids" sacrifice so much in playing the game and their "schools" reap the benefits. But anymore, it's like 'Junior NFL' and with no boundaries or limits it's just more of the richer schools (read alums/boosters) buying the best. It's also hard to follow a team's roster and the concepts of growth, progress, and loyalty are out the window.
This is why I have to root for the military academies as they don't do NIL/transfer portal and their players are in it for 4 years. Plus I would rather watch option football flexbone (veer, wishbone, single/double wing) offenses.
Yesterday's game of Air Force vs. Navy was one of the best games of the day. What a shootout and Navy's QB Blake Horvath and receiver Eli Heidenreich had career days. Who says option offenses can't use the pass as a weapon. ☺
