What I learned:
12 was too many (as expected), 8 would have been much, much better
CFB is lost at sea at the moment. NIL is the Wild West, same with the transfer portal.
Less continuity from year to year.
No leadership. Reminds me of a 3rd world country run by various war lords each fighting and scratching to show their dominance, but actually keeping the country as a whole from being as prosperous as it could be.
Hopeful that sanity will reign supreme over the next few years, but doubting that more and more each year.
