Wow!! What a game! Ga 42- OSU 41

Hi Peter- you are being very kind. I've been to a ton of OSU games in
person and pride myself on a willingness to talk about the good and bad
of OSU football. I respectfully disagree regarding nostalgia, though. I think
D1 football's decline is due to 1) money being the driving force 2) scandals
a la Penn State 3) NIL 4) the transfer portal becoming de facto free agency.
The truth is that D1 football is far too much like NFL- and that isn't good.
It's basically ruined

I think part of what you say is what I meant by nostalgia, that is nostalgia for purer days when the game was much less about money and business and the players were less like pieces in a corporate enterprise. Now it's just the way it is, although of course on top of that there are specific scandals too.
