College football has been broken for awhile, but the latest round of mega contracts really makes it clear. There's just no way to compete with the kind of money that's being thrown around. Notre Dame as a stepping stone job was inconceivable until tonight.

Fortunately, as long as you can abandon hope of competing for a national championship and still place value on winning your rivalry games and conference, it is still possible to enjoy college football as it was back in the early 21st century. I don't buy the idea that the SEC and some grand coalition of blue bloods from the north are going to break away and form their own league, but I do think the sport will bleed traditional fans, gain new ones from the same demographics who love the NFL and NBA, and will effectively have a divided overall fanbase where one watches the CBS game each week, and the other flips between the channel with a decent Arizona-UCLA game I guess idk it's fine and their team struggling to put together scoring drives against Boston College for öööö's sake are you ööööing kidding me with this horseshit why are we throwing deep. It is a brave new age in deep emotional trauma from meaningless exhibitions of athleticism.

It's wild. I don't even think Saban is in the top 5 highest paid after this

Pretty lousy to bolt on a team when you're still feasibly in the national title hunt. Reeks of Petrino bailing on the Falcons with like 3 games left to go to Arkansas, except it's worse, because the Falcons had nothing left to play for.

Then again, I don't think anyone ever accused Brian Kelly of being some sort of model citizen. Notre Dame knew who he was the whole time he was there.
