College football programs can now put themselves into NFL rebuild cap hell situations. You fire a coach and all the quality players portal out. Your roster is dirt cheap but crap, so you go big and spend all your money on rookies (HS recruits) and free agents (portal). Now all your vets leave but you have your new expensive signing class, but you have to also sign your new class and cheap out on that because you’re having to now pay your current roster. You are never able to successfully build depth or continuity and you fire your coach for underperforming so you start the process all over again. This is must watch TV because we are now getting into an era where programs can destroy themselves for years at a time and require full scale institutional rebuilds beyond just hiring a new coach. At least in the NFL they have contracts, the draft, rookie pay scales and mandatory league reporting to add clarity and transparency to what’s going on.
