There has been a lot of skepticism around the game of college football lately. Many of us have this fear that programs like ASU will be ruined because of the P2 money grab, the fall of the Pac 12, media deals, NIL etc. While there is no doubt that things are different, they might be as good as ever.
I'm looking around college football right now:
- Army is undefeated
- NFL draft picks #1, #2, and #3 are projected to come from the Big 12
- The top 3 Heisman odds right now belong to players in the Big 12, Mountain West, and ACC
- New Mexico fans just rushed the field, like ASU fans did earlier
- It feels good to be a Sun Devil right now
I'm not old enough to remember the 70s or 80s but this is sure a whole hell of a lot better than anything since 1997.
That's my perspective. What is yours?
