Peace Out

It is what it is and it's not the same. What is going to happen to VFL? You can't tell someone who left here to earn more money over there that they will be a VFL. High school ball is where us old timers will go to see football in its purest form. Until money bastardizes the high school ranks. Sad times for college ball.

VFL will only exist in rare cases going forward. It’s mostly an extinct idea now.

It's started happening. It's at and will be at the private school level. Most public schools can't get into bidding wars. Some public programs have boosters, but they will support the local talent that is not bidding out their services.

You will be just like me, we be watching every game in 2026. Please back off the cliff. Gonna be okay

It possible though, personally didn’t watch any games this year. Football saturdays are the best days to golf. I agree with OP, college football is cooked

College football we know is done. $$$$ makers are gonna get their way. There may come a day though, young athletes will have to decide to either join the g-league out of high school or go get a college education. I would much rather watch a group of young athletes compete for their school, with a free education, boarding, and nourishment, even though they are of less talent, then the so called future g-league player out of high school and his/hers family thinks. And maybe once a young athlete makes that decision, that's it. He ain't running back to college. Period. Nadda. First it was baseball, then basketball, now football. Go ahead and start g-league football with all the dam sponsors you want. I won't be watching. Never thought it would come to this, but after 50 years as a True VOL Fan,,, I'm out.

but at what point in anything has money makers not gotten their way? saying this is assuming folk are dumb and have no clue of all the "behind the scenes" stuff that's been happening in sports. especially on levels below college

I’m looking forward to this.

Lots of unsold space on that visor. Try harder! Every $ counts!
