I love the story of Jalen coming to Saban for guidance on where to transfer to. Jalen was going to Miami and following Dan Enos (QB Coach), or Maryland (Mike Locksley), and Saban asked him where the best players were, and kinda guided him to Oklahoma. They had just lost Kyler Murray to the draft as well.

True about the last line. College Football is being destroyed by the same kind of thinking that has devasted our large cities. Nick knows this and watch how college football begins to disintegrate. It's really already started. Players refusing to play in bowl games and transferring after the season's last game.
