Herbstreit, a top analyst for ESPN, believes that locker rooms could collapse<\/a> if something isn’t done about the future of college football. Too many players are transferring, too many players are making decisions based on strictly money and too many programs are seeing a ton of turnover every year.<\/p>\n

The ESPN college football analyst believes that at some point, locker rooms could collapse, if something isn’t done to stabilize the sport moving forward. He’s probably not wrong about that, either.<\/p>\n

Many college football coaches seem to agree with Herbstreit, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hate to say, I don\u2019t have faith because you have to have faith for anything to work. So, I have a lot of faith going in, but I\u2019ll let you know in a year. You know, the NCAA couldn\u2019t control it in the past. There\u2019s no control right now. So it\u2019s got to be better than nothing, right?\u201d Pittsburgh head coach Pat Narduzzi said.<\/p>\n

Many head coaches are just pushing for more consistency across the sport when it comes to controlling what’s happening.<\/p>\n

Wake Forest head coach Jake Dickert is part of that group, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got to decide if we want Major League Baseball or if we want the NFL. Major League Baseball has some teams with $250 million [payrolls] and some teams playing Moneyball at $40 million,\u201d Dickert said. \u201cOr do we want a hard salary cap like the NFL, and who\u2019s doing the best with their resources? You know, the NFL doesn\u2019t have GoFundMe for free agents, right? They don\u2019t; they play with a certain set of rules.\u201d<\/p>\n

College football is working on solutions, following the NCAA vs. House settlement, but time will tell if it’s enough.<\/p>\n
