The thrill is gone. Not all of it, but a lot of it.
There's a YouTube video that's a side-to-side scroll
of DI players and how much NIL money they make,
Every one of them makes 6 figures, and a lot of them
make millions. Good for them.
A few of them make more than I did as a college professor
in total for thirty years.
Some have played or will play for more than one school.
Loyalty is long gone. It's a dirty word. It's money, just like
Barrett Strong said. Does it bother anyone else?
Sure, I'm still happy when UCLA wins a men's basketball
or football game, but it's not the same.
