Nobody cares. College football was never designed to reward fair play and everyone is fine with it as long as the money rolls in.

I would suggest the NFL if you want a system designed to level the playing field.

Then the bottom 8-10 teams in the conference should just stop playing and providing a venue for the cheaters. They have no competitive chance.

Why stop playing if you are still making money? And you are right, if you are ranking teams in conference by conference history then the bottom half of the conference doesn’t have a competitive chance on any given season.

I’m not saying it can’t be enjoyable to watch, I’m simply saying to be successful you have to break the rules and some schools have more resources and backing than others.

The NBA became less appealing to me when all these dudes started playing AAU ball together since they were 12 and nobody wants to upset the other guy. There are no more rivalries the way it once was. Yeah the quality of the player 1-12 is better, but the villains and rivalries no longer are there. I remember growing up watching Bulls-Pistons, Bulls Knicks or Phoenix- Houston or Lakers/Blazers. To me that no longer is in play.

I think bigger than the AAU/friendship connection, Is that free agency has done far more damage to the NBA than any other pro league. No player is connected to a team anymore.

I thought about that too. There was a time where a Celtic would never play for the Lakers and vice versa. Now you blow a 3-1 lead to a team in the conference finals, you leave your team to join the team you couldn’t beat.

That’s happened exactly once in my lifetime, likely yours as well.

The exception is not the rule.

Agreed, but you get my point. You said You’ve been following the game a long time, the mentality is just different to me than it was even 10-15 years ago. Does it for you? I think the $ is so big it makes such an impact on how these players approach the game in a lot of different ways. I feel like the combination of $, analytics, and the fact that I don’t really know many of these guys entering the league anymore bc they only stay a year in college has made it harder to follow for me over time. I’ll watch some the Playoffs, but to me there’s nothing that’s can’t miss about the NBA right now. If Adam Silver had hair I’m sure he’d be losing it over the potential Finals matchups.
