Moving goalposts. My point was he was romanticizing old school CFB vs NFL

I didn't say NIL hadn't changed the game (and, in fact, explicitly said it had). I still stand by my original comment and providing reasons why. All you've done is be a contrarian by moving the goal posts to fit your narrative. If you have anything to refute my actual point, please do. Otherwise, go to your room and practice reading comprehension.

(HUGE EYE ROLL) How about refuting what I wrote with some facts?

He has his right to his opinion just like you do. Not everyone agrees
