From the new NIL rules to the possibility of super conferences, college football is undergoing plenty of changes. ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit apparently isn’t a fan of what college football is evolving into.

The analyst shared his thoughts to Atlanta broadcaster Zach Klein:

The NIL rules now allow college athletes to profit off their name, image, and likeness. This has already created lucrative opportunities for the top end college athletes.

Meanwhile, Big 12 teams Texas and Oklahoma have intentions to join the SEC. Also, there’s a new alliance formed between the ACC, B1G, and Pac-12.

Additionally, there’s been talks of expanding the College Football Playoff from four teams to 12 teams.

One thing is for sure: It’ll certainly be interesting to see how everything shakes out with these various changes and proposed changes.
