I agree with you. The game is so watered down and the never ending commercials and such is a turn off. I enjoy the college game more as well, but I have to say, with the transfer portal/NIL…..it will change the college game dramatically bc it already has.
Winning. Winning changes everything. When the team you support sucks and misses the playoffs for multiple years, it’s very easy to let the types of things you described dampen your interest.
