KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — College football, once known and beloved for tradition, needs an overhaul.

It will never be the same, but it needs to have order and make sense.

At the moment, there’s a cluster of mind-splitting issues that high-powered figures — judges, administrators, lawyers and politicians — can’t seem to sort out in a timely or effective manner.

Fans just want to know who is going to be playing for their respective teams and get on with it.

One thing everyone has agreed on is the current NIL model, allowing for limitless player salaries and player movement, is not sustainable.
