Gordon Monson: 'The romantic, antiquated notion that college football should be played among young people who want an education and who love a school and who love the game.... That ship, at the top college levels, left the dock long ago.'
Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham stands on the sideline during an NCAA college football game against UCLA in Pasadena, Calif., Saturday, Oct. 8, 2022.You can understand Utah coach Kyle Whittingham complaining about NIL money, easy transfers and the effect they have on college football, the effect they will have on his football team.These changes make his job more complicated.
Quarterback Caleb Williams transferred from the Sooners, receiver Jordan Addison from Pitt, with a boatload of others.Said Whittingham: “Pay them a bunch of money … That’s just how it is. That’s where it’s heading and there’s no debate about it, unless they change the rules.” That ship, at the top college levels, left the dock long ago. It wasn’t as blatant, it wasn’t as open, it wasn’t as obvious or as fluid as it is now, payments being more clandestine, transferring in former years being more difficult.Now, it’s on top, as are — or will be — the teams with the most of it., complaining about players being able to move, players getting paid for their names, images and likenesses.
That’s pretty much the way the world works, and college football is no exception. Forget the romance, that’s gone.
