You see this Luther Davis story, an ex-Alabama defensive tackle pleading guilty to impersonating NFL players on investor calls, and it just sums up everything wrong with the sport now. Back in the 1978 season when we were learning the veer under the lights at Bentley, none of this fast money culture existed. Kids today grow up watching the portal and NIL and thinking the whole game is about getting a bag without earning it. We had a defensive tackle in the early 80s who worked the offseasons at the local lumber yard and showed up to camp with busted hands and a work ethic you couldnt buy. Now you got guys pretending to be David Njoku and Michael Penix Jr. to steal from people because the whole ecosystem is built on chasing dollars instead of building character. NIL and the portal turned college football into a trnsactional circus and stories like this are the natural result. You want to fix the sport, you gotta start with teaching these kids what it means to actually earn something.
