Text us your thoughts!Laner explains why the statement "players deserve to be paid" can't be the reason we continue to make horrible decisions for the sport. Most people agree players should be paid, but the lack of structure is killing the sport. Fans, coaches, and everyone else in CFB have had enough. Rogue, uncertified agents shouldn't be the ones winning in all of the NIL and transfer portal moves, but that's the current reality. Laner drops some hard truths and offers some questions for early championship contenders.
