    I have never seen such a terrible Bowl Season in my 45 years. NIL made these kids even more entitled than they already were. Why even play these dogshit bowl games?

    I hate it the coaches are clearly pushing for the committee to step in and fix the NIL.

     It’s part of the design to phase the bowls out.

    Definitely hard to bet and hard to watch at times...

     

    They need to change the transfer season and coaching carousel till after Natty... coaches leaving left the door open for players to not care in my opinion. The other idea I would have is do a Quad A and Triple A bowl championship round with sponsors pooling sponsorship $ and each team /players split 1/3 to 2/3 payout for how far they go. 64 teams play. I would do #1 vs #17, #2 vs #18 and so on for the first round

     

    You just need 5 weeks to get to final game in each final game..... start 2 weeks after conference finals....you would be done end of January just before SB.

     

    I don't know....system today was ok at one time but motivation is waning unless you are in the College Playoff

    Proving is hard. Talk is easy.

    Yea man.  

    Even 3-4 years ago I would be in heaven.   Saturday mid bowl season.  7 games.  I would have capped these all week,  betting every one of them, in multiple pools……

    I got virginia +4.5 today.   Might not bet anything else.  

    Sad.   There’s more than enough room to fix this coaching jumping nonsense before the end of the season and tweak the playoffs and NIL to where bowl season retains most of its magic.

    Nothing stays the same when you prioritize money. Bowls are obsolete like conferences.

    Saw a bowl game other day. QB threw a dumbass INT in the end zone.

    just jogged right past the coach and ignored the coach

    before, you would get benched or punished for some shit like that. Now? Nothing

    Patriots dynasty was cause belichick ran a tight ship.  Look at Chiefs now, their run is over and you got Kelce getting caught on camera arguing with Reid during the downward spiral

    I have no problem with the players being paid but it also has to mean you have a contract and you will play unless a doctor says you are hurt and can't. Once you are paid to play you must play. It's that simple.

    You learn more from losing than winning. You learn how to keep going.
