College Sports: Until they clean up basketball I’m done with it. Football could use some tweaking as well. But the hammer is, NIL, the transfer portal, and the selfishness involved in today’s college major sports landscape.
Maybe I’m just old. I don’t know. Watching the major sports in college, the professionals have long since been in the dumpster as far as I’m concerned, has become almost unbearable.
