Photoshopped images of coaches next to money is what’s wrong with college football?
I hope you're right, but it was posted by Maurice Clarette. Which considering the source I guess, could be the issue as well.

There’s the real picture
Good to know. The internet sucks sometimes!

Decent photoshop, but if you look closely at the bills in the front you can see where it is fake. Those bills would be falling off. But yeah, Clarrett is an idiot who is just looking for clout every day on twitter.
What would you say.....ya do here?
As strange as it may seem today Clarrett was on the right side of history.
But yeah, now he’s a jabroni.
Don't be so sure.

It doesn't matter the pic is Photoshopped. It's what it symbolizes, and it hits it spot on IMO.
Yep. And it's why I may so adios to college football too.
You got a 18 yr old kid, fresh out of high school, making a million dollars, before he has accomplished anything, other then being recognized as a national prospect. And that's on top of his free education, room and board, food, and Booster perks. Ridiculous IMO. But if that is the path this generation wants the sport to go, then so be it.

True. But they also lost players to the portal. I think so far a total of eight, which included CB Calhoun and LB Velazquez. But like Saban's retiring caused players to either have a change of heart towards commiting to 'Bama, or players entered the portal ... is the same now going to occur at Michigan? Once a HC announces he's leaving it opens up a new 30 day portal window for those players.
I think the whole thing is a friggin' mess! LOL
He definitely has some tough shoes to fill.I think DeBoer will be gone from Bama in three years. It's a shame because I think he is a great coach but the SEC is very cutthroat and he is in a state that is basically treating him like an outsider.

Comparing what Michigan lost in the portal to Alabama is apples to asparagus. The players they lost aren't highly regarded.
Not to say it couldn't happen but if someone like Mason Graham enters the portal there would be cause for concern.

Few if any 18 year old freshman are making a million dollars. The handful that are, are doing so because they have accomplished something and you know who they are. Some of the older players are definitely getting paid.
Exactly.
I don't know how Ohio State is doing it but I read that Georgia doesn't spend much on high school recruits but spends to "re-recruit" players to keep them from entering the portal.

Don’t believe everything you read. A lot of the numbers that get thrown around on what players are making is completely made up.
What would you say.....ya do here?
Nearly half a million college student-athletes, from all sports, have utilized the NIL to partner with local agencies. No, not all are making a million dollars; but there are lots who are. This is just a beginning. Ohio State's collective paid out approximately 10M to retain and acquire players. These kids are getting a nice chunk of change. Harrison got over a million.
These (below) aren't made up. And this is not a comprehensive list ...

If today's fans are alright with this, then it's fine with me. But for me, it's changing the landscape of college football radically, and in a bad way, where it's no longer "attractive" or entertaining to me. College football had a "uniqueness" to it that kept it separated from the pros (NFL). Those differences are gradually being eradicated from the collge ranks. And to the point where I'll leave it, and have no qualms about doing so.
