The last 5 years of College Football:
The implementation of NIL.
The popularization of the transfer portal.
Eroded conference regionality.
Devalued regular season games.
Eliminated conference title games.
Popularization of “meaningless bowl game.”
Got rid of the fun OT (ex: 2018 LSU-A&M).
Teams declining to play in bowl games.
Allowed transfers immediate eligibility.
CFP says fans opinions don’t matter.
Players suing for extra eligibility.
NCAA legally can’t enforce its own rules.
Corporate sponsor logos on fields.
Corporate sponsor logos on jerseys.
Corporate sponsor logos on helmets.
Players staying at one school is rare.
Cross-country travel for conference games.
NFL players attempting to return to college.
Tampering galore, highest bidder wins.
Tamperers reported = nothing happens.
Group of 6 schools’ best players taken.
2-minute timeout (extra commercials).
Eliminated clock stopping after 1st downs.
Rivalries eroded by realignment.
ESPN solely propping up the SEC.
FOX solely propping up the B1G.
13-0 FSU left out of 4-team CFP.
2-loss teams ranked ahead of 9-0 UCLA.
1-loss Georgia ranked ahead of 9-0 Utah.
BYU went 11-1 in reg. season, left out.
Rankings completely rigged for the SEC.
SEC rigging = declining interest elsewhere.
Declining attendance.
Normal fans getting priced out of games.
Parking’s exponentially more expensive.
Home-and-homes moved to neutral sites.
Constant roster turnover with the portal.
Fans lack personal bond to 1-year transfers.
Your favorite player probably transfers out.
Recruiting matters a lot less (they’ll leave).
Landing a big recruit doesn’t feel the same.
The word “committed” means nothing.
Preseason rankings/ratings skewing things.
Portal window overlapping with CFP.
Coaches have to recruit their current players.
Players “re-signing” during the season.
What is targeting? What is a catch?
Basically just gave us fans the finger lmao
NEW: CFP executive director Rich Clark on fans against the 24-team College Football Playoff:
"We’re aware of the fan sentiment, and that many fans aren’t in favor of expansion. That was certainly weighed into the decision and it was considered. But ultimately, we just need to make a spectacular Playoff."

Kansas is the only original member of the Big 12 Conference to have never reached the Big 12 championship game...and now it looks like they never will. #KUfball

Travis Goff has to have a serious look in the mirror in the next few months and ask himself if he truly cares about the future of KU athletics

Here is a list of every KU loss* since 2021, ranked by the peak win probability that KU had at one point during the game, according to ESPN Analytics (plus the time of the play after which it had that probability).
* There's no data for Oklahoma 2022 for some reason. (1/2)

By the end of year 3, KU under Leipold:
- Went to back to back bowl games
- Won a bowl game
- Beat Texas
- Beat OU
- Ended the 56-game conf. road losing streak
- Hosted College GameDay
There was little reason for concern then. But there sure is now. #KUfball

They’ve blown 12 fourth quarter leads since the start of the 2024 season. Truly remarkable
Sidelines - Kansas retweeted
OMG
Since 2024, Kansas has lost 7 of 10 games against P4 opponents in which it held a one-possession lead at any point in the FINAL 2 MINUTES.
It’s the exact same thing said after every single one of these games man come up with something else to say at least
Lance Leipold’s time at Kansas is effectively over, regardless if he’s still “head coach” after that
