I used to watch college football, but don't much anymore. I just think it is all so corrupt, winning has little to do with sportsmanship, skill, practice, etc.

It has more to do with cheating, getting around rules, looking the other way at rules violations, illegally paying players to come to your school, etc.

Because really, it's all about recruiting. And that comes down to "Who can get the best players/thugs to come to your school." And that, it unfortunately appears, comes down to promising or giving these recruits money, other things, etc.

With the pressure on these $5 million/year coaches, there are way too many that will cut corners, skirt the rules, and downright cheat. It's unfortunate that what was once a great sport has become so corrupted.

Bingo boingo. I've noticed that there aren't so many of the "our team is the best" posts here this year. Maybe folks are catching on?

I've become a pool hall junkie, thanks to live streams. I'm more often watching a pool tournament than a college football game these days.
