Feckless, Leaderless NCAA Ultimately Responsible for Marshall’s Bowl Opt-Out
Regardless of which side of the aisle a college football fan is on, everyone agrees that the sport's current lawless, Wild West nature threatens its existence. Certainly, players deserve more rights and compensation than they used to have. However, the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction. The players now run the show.
These days, most coaches are scared of coaching too hard for fear of players leaving in a huff. There is virtually no such thing as a backup quarterback anymore, as almost anyone who is not the starter enters the transfer portal.
Competing programs constantly contact players on other teams with sweetheart NIL financial offers to transfer out. There is no salary cap and little constraint on player movement. The NCAA calendar is clinically insane and perhaps the best evidence yet of a leadership vacuum. As a result, we have mercenary players often transferring to multiple schools during a career.
