College football remains the most amazing sport on the planet for one simple reason: No matter how much the people in charge screw up, they can’t break it.
Mind you, they keep trying to break it. Or, perhaps more accurately, they keep refusing to fix it, to address the glaring flaws, to improve the product, to get past backbiting fiefdom disputes and cooperate for the good of the entire enterprise. They can remain mired in place because they know the money will keep flowing, the fans will keep watching.
They know we’re like the parents of a problem child, willing to love it no matter how many times it disappoints and aggravates us.
