Steve Sarkisian, the head coach at Texas and a former coach at USC and Alabama, is speaking out against the wild West culture of college football. He argues that the sport has become a place where money and power rule, with schools and boosters spending their way to championships and players being used as pawns in a game of financial leverage. Sarkisian highlights the inequities in the system, such as the transfer portal and the selection committee, and calls for a reset in the way college football is run. He believes that the sport has forgotten about academics and that the NCAA is no longer effective in enforcing its rules. Sarkisian also discusses the potential for a super league in the SEC, where schools with the most financial resources could break away and create their own rules. He argues that the only way to fix the sport is to think outside the box and make dramatic changes, rather than just adding more teams to the playoff or making knee-jerk reactions to problems.
