This is an interesting conversation, especially with how lucrative it is now to be even an average college football player.
Personally (and this may ruffle some feathers), I really don't care much about the age of a player. I care more about a player taking up roster slots / snaps / NIL allocation for 6-7 years when it could be going to developing new talent. For example, I am not at all offended about the 30 year old Aussie punter we got for next year. I do, however, cringe at the 7 year safety we got from Wisconsin. This is nothing against him personally. If CIg and staff want him, I am sure he is a great young man and a fantastic, hard-working culture fit. But it takes away from underclassman development.
Personally, I am glad Chambliss 6 year was denied. Maybe the NCAA will begin to make this a more regular outcome.
