If you’re worried that the impending expanded version of the college football playoff, NIL, and the transfer portal are out to kill the sport of college football as we have known it all of our lives — you can sleep easy. All of the incompetence, corruption, and flat-out stupidity of the sport still is very much alive with the college football awards — especially the John Mackey Award.
On Thursday night, we found out that the Mackey Award was given to Georgia Bulldogs TE Brock Bowers, rather than Notre Dame’s Michael Mayer.
Both Mayer and Bowers were snubbed as finalists for the Award last year — which made absolutely zero sense then only magnifies how ridiculously inept this award committee has become.
