   How can you blame the players when money is driving ALL decisions in college   
   football. Conferences are being realigned    
   destroying long time rivalries, all to maximize TV revenue. Players are given   
   scholarships on a year to year basis. They have   
   every right to opt out or enter the transfer portal for a bag of cash. The   
   schools are in a money grab so why shouldn't the   
   players be?
