Yes, which is why I don’t take things too seriously. No matter what you accomplish in this world, it will be forgotten in a cosmic eye blink. Even names like Washington, Napoleon, and Caesar will be erased from memory one day.
My fundamental life principle is that I was born on this rock and want to see as much of it as I can before I die, so I put a heavy emphasis on world travel.

I believe it should in college, not necessarily the NFL. In fact, I think being a Heisman winner should be an automatic entry.
But I agree with what someone else said earlier. All of Cam’s bullshite isn’t helping his cause. It may or may not have mattered one bit in this instance - but it’s definitely not helping.

re: NIL Athletes vs. Student Athletes - which would you rather watch? Thought experiment

NIL Athletes vs. Student Athletes - which would you rather watch?
The real problem is fans value winning above all else combined.
Even by the former rules, fans would still rather have a 5 star from the Compton ghetto who can barely spell his name and doesn’t really belong in college than a 3 star in-state kid who’s a valedictorian and went to every camp and home game growing up.

re: Turns out that Caviezel bailed on “The Resurrection” sequel due to a reportedly low salary

I like Jim Caviezel. He's a good actor and seems to be a good Christian role model in Hollywood. That being said, he's much too old to play Jesus Christ in a sequel to a film that was produced over 20 years ago. He'd be close to 60 in 2027 when he's doing press for this movie when the real guy was 33 at the time of these events.
I agree.
Joaquin Phoenix playing Napoleon didn’t work for me for the same reason. Just too old for the part. I’m glad someone else is playing Jesus even though I usually don’t like casting changes either. I do in this case, though.

So if no one ever showed up to a football game ever again and there were literally 0 fans you think schools / TV would keep dumping money into it just because.
How many high school and college teams played all their games in 2025 without a single one being televised or having millions of dollars dumped into their programs? How many have little more than parents and grandparents in the stands?
You can have college football without the whole thing being a fricking entertainment behemoth.
Money and overzealous fans aren’t made college football. They’re what’s poisoning it. An extracurricular activity at an institution of higher learning isn’t supposed to be a multibillion dollar business.

That's exactly why it exist.. If there were no fans there would be no game...
How many people show up to watch Hicksville High School with a HC that makes $40,000 a year, a DC who sells insurance full time, and 200 kids 9-12 play football? Not very damn many but they still manage to have a team.
The major universities would certainly still have football teams without exorbitant money and fan interest. You might actually even have players who are genuine students if this were the case.
re: Dabo quote on signing players from the transfer portal

He took Clemson from being a perennial NC State to almost a dynasty. 4 National Championship games w/ 2 Titles and few more playoff appearances.
That is true, but…
1. Clemson hired him as a WR coach in 2003 when he had been out of coaching for two years selling commercial real estate. He was canned along with DuBose’s staff at Alabama after the 2000 season debacle.
2. Clemson hired him as HC in 2008 when he had never been anything but a WR coach under fired head coaches. He could have easily been flushed out with Tommy Bowden. If that had happened, it would have been a long road to national championship success for him as a HC, if it ever happened at all.
3. Clemson stood by him through some early struggles, including a five game losing streak to USCe.
4. Clemson stepped up to the plate and invested a lot of money in the program to make it a winner. Clemson’s staff has been among the highest paid in the country for a long time now, much was put into facilities, and Dabo was rewarded with a nine figure contract. The 2015-2020 playoff success doesn’t happen without that.
Dabo has had unprecedented success at Clemson, BUT Clemson has paid for it too. And any “discount” Clemson got in Dabo’s early success is balanced by the fact that now they’re paying a top five coaching salary for mediocre results. In other words. if he was underpaid before he’s overpaid now.
All this to say that I don’t think Clemson owes Dabo shite other than his buyout. They have done just as much for him as he has for them. If a day comes when the PTB feel a change is needed, then they should make it.

OP thinks that college football would still exist without fans to watch it.
It would certainly still exist with minimal attention. Many, many schools have football teams without 100,000 seat stadiums, appearances on ESPN, and eight figure coaching salaries.

They would not. But you can blame yourselves for the fact that they do.

You couldn’t be more incorrect. The fans is what makes it. Without them none of this exists.
If the “adults” weren’t so obsessive about money and winning and entertainment, you might actually have “real students” playing college football.
The sport would certainly exist without all the attention, just like it does at countless small high schools out in the sticks. But since the adults have perverted the game with greed and win-at-all-costs attitudes, I fully support the players in taking advantage of it.
College football IS for the benefit of the students - regardless of how loosely that term is used in this day and age.

Maybe so. But if I’m a Clemson fan I hate hearing him say this.
If I were a major college HC and wanted to hang on to my eight figure job, I would not say anything negative publicly about the portal or NIL or revshare or whatever.
I would want prospective players to think I love throwing money around and all that jazz.

Once again, players will choose what team they want to play for because of the love of the state or team or coaches or school.
You guys are going to have to get over this shite.
No one cares if an engineering student with a genius IQ attends Bama (or wherever) for no other reason than to acquire the skills and degree to get a good job. And no one will care if he has a chance to transfer to MIT or Georgia Tech for an even better opportunity.
But talented athletes who are trying to maximize their value by going to whatever school is best for their future - without any “love” involved - we can’t have all that. Perceived loyalty is more important.
