Just stfu and watch golf or something. I remember old timers in the late 90s telling me it was dead because it's changed so much.

The model has fundamentally changed from a bastardized version of amateur athletics to a pretty much full pro model. It's just a lesser version of the NFL.

The main difference between CFB and the XFL (the other 2nd tier league) is the tradition, the brand power aka college affiliation. And conference realignment is eroding that quickly. Furthermore, cable & centralized media has been eroding since the early 2000s with not a lot of indication that it will ever come back.

I'd watch golf but it's fractured as heck too with the LIV tour. Too many people chasing money without regard to the actual product & the fans
