TV has affected my behavior at the gates in another way. The high variability of game times--often announced less than two weeks prior to game days--just made buying season tickets less efficient. I just started buy them piecemeal. When you're bringing a family--all of whom have other stuff going on their lives--it just becomes to complicated to plan around. I miss the days when you could depend on a 1:00pm start every Saturday.

The game is over. College football is no longer played for the benefit of the fans or the players. Tradition, rivalries, and academics have all taken a back seat to television. College football games are now basically TV content, TV inventory. Players and coaches have become commodities. Conference commissioners and athletic directors sold their soul to television in pursuit of the almighty dollar. And the combination of unregulated NIL and the transfer portal have accelerated the descent into professionalism. It's a crying shame, but the sport we knew and loved all these years has become NFL 2.0.
