Apply that same biblical energy to university presidents and TV executives.

Given your profession I trust you’ll gladly accept the next lowball offer for your client, and not put money above all else.

1) Ok, it has been applied. My statement remains the same.

2) Realtors don’t accept offers, nor reject them, nor counter them.

1) Noted.

2) Very well then….if you are a buyer’s agent I’m certain you would advise your client to accept a ridiculously high offer, or if you are a seller’s agent you would advise your client to list their property well below market value, so as not to put money before all else.

There’s a reason the Bible has very specific things to say about putting money above all else.

It becomes a disease that wrecks everything when it finds itself as the top priority.

Except nothing is being "wrecked". It no longer being something some people like as much doesn't remotely equal "wrecked". It seems to be doing just fine. Just because you might think it's "wrecked" doesn't mean it actually is.

People conflating their own opinions about things seems rather prideful to me...which I believe the Bible has something to say about too.

Well buyers don’t accept offers… they make the offer. But the listing analogy is absurdly senseless. Asking them to list the house way above market would be putting money before all else, such as actually getting the house sold, and that strategy would fail.

This is an arbitrary exercise though.

I don’t know how to help you see that this is causing a pretty big downward spiral for college football. It’s still fresh enough that attention to the sport is relatively unchanged, but the overwhelming majority seems to all have the same opinion on this whole NIL/portal fiasco. This has to change or interest is going to nose dive.

Your “pride” zinger isn’t worth acknowledging due to lack of any sensible use of that word.

It‘s also an exercise in hypocrisy.

CFB will be just fine whether you continue to watch or not.

Yep, I don’t follow recruiting much at all anymore, let alone the portal…way too many moving parts these days.

Just tell me who’s on the roster after the last fall practice, and that’s who I roll with.

Until they decide it is a good idea to have another transfer Portal session right before season kicks off.

Didn't we see a kid from UNLV walk out on his team during the season or am I imagining that? You know holdouts are coming. Some agent somewhere will try to put the squeeze on a school/program at some point.

In your opinion. TV ratings and various other metrics would seem to suggest that the masses at large disagree with you.

For second straight year America's College Sports City led the country in combined attendance across football and men's and women's basketball.

I think that might have something to do with Tennessee being better at those other sports than football.

Probably has something to do with it, but as someone mentioned, it’s getting harder to stay invested in the revolving door of college football when there’s 40-50 (over-exaggeration) new players on the roster every season.

I can understand that. Basketball and baseball are like that too, but the rosters are smaller, so it is easier to remember names.
