Finebaum and Chizik can sit there and talk about Week 13 rivalries all they want, but the real story nobody wants to touch is how NIL turned college football into a mercenary league. I watched the 1980 team go to war together for four years, knowing each other's families, bleeding for the same goal. Now a kid commits, spends one spring in Athens, and the second a bigger bag shows up from Oregon or Texas he is gone. That is not a team, that is a rental car. The portal killed any sense of brotherhood we used to have. You cannot build a program when the locker room turns over by 30% every winter. Kirby is doing the best he can but he is fighting with one hand tied behind his back against this system.
