That quote is from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, spoken by Galadriel an elf who is, at the time of the story, over 8,000 years old. That’s old. Yet somehow, it’s how the changes to college football can make someone my age, just 37, feel. I’m not talking about rule changes on the field but rather the way rosters are made off of it. There was a time, not that long ago, when almost the entirety of a roster was made of up players that the head coach recruited straight out of high school. Sure, there would be a transfer or two, maybe a JUCO guy if you were desperate but that was about it.
