Dude, it's entirely possible that college football will be dead and gone before we "put it together," in your mind. It's a sad existence to not enjoy and be thankful for the things we do have and always looking for something we don't. It's a form of envy and it eats at ones very core to be like that. I'm not saying we shouldn't strive to be better, but I am saying that what I described is problem in our society.
Will "how do we finish" be impacted by any of our players or opponents players (or teams that are involved in determining the CCG contestants) be impacted by opt outs ?
Here's the first:
Texas offensive tackle Samuel Cosmi is opting out of the rest of the 2020 season to begin preparation for the NFL draft, a source confirmed to ESPN.

The best coaches and players of all time have all been "eaten to the core", then. It's actually a required trait to be great. Look at the best ones; Saban, Belichick, Brady, Jordan......all of them great, and all of them eaten to the core with never being content. You can't strive to be better while resting in mediocrity. The two are mutually exclusive.
The problem is that our current coach is almost actively fighting to NOT be great. He's comfortable, content, and settled into a safe situation that pays him millions of dollars. Since it's apparent that he doesn't have that greatness gene driving him from the inside, then he needs external motivation, and he's not getting it under his current contract. The only way to push our coach towards striving to be better appears to be fan pressure, because losing apparently isn't enough.

Gundy is so funny.
He tells Jenkins he's worth $40Mil in the pros and repeats the story to the media.
At today's presser, he says R Williams made himself a lot of coin by putting out good tape this year.
But when asked about Chuba's NFL future he said "oh, I don't know what NFL guys are looking for, I don't talk to them".
Quite the character there.

If attendance limits are lifted next year, I'm curious how the ticket sales look.
1) Tickets are too expensive
2) Want to save money.
3) A lot of people were able to watch from the comfort of their homes.
4) Last second, not a hard ticket to get on gameday at less than face value.
5) Prime game is OU and that is consistently a loss. However re-sell ability might drive up season tickets if OU is projected to be a top 5 team.
6) $5 Water
Allowing people to use their money from this year towards next year's tickets was a brilliant move by OSU.
