School loyalty/student education is now a quaint afterthought. Money won. Player compensation is long overdue. I don't know how that's supposed to happen, but this wild West shit show needs to be reevaluated. Buying 5-star players is the new game. Recruiting is check writing. Bowl games are injury risks instead of rewards for a season well played. Kinda sad, actually.
