Kirk Herbstreit Issues ‘Warning’ To Entire College Football World
ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit has issued a “warning” to the rest of the college football world. He believes that locker rooms could collapse if something isn’t done about the future of college football. Too many players are transferring, too many players make decisions based on strictly money and too many programs are seeing a ton of turnover every year. College football is working on solutions, following the NCAA vs. House settlement, but time will tell if it’s enough.“I have a lot of faith going in, but I’ll let you know in a year. You know, the NCAA couldn’t control it in the past. There’s no control right now,” Pittsburgh head coach Pat Narduzzi said.
Herbstreit, a top analyst for ESPN, believes that locker rooms could collapse if something isn’t done about the future of college football. Too many players are transferring, too many players are making decisions based on strictly money and too many programs are seeing a ton of turnover every year.
The ESPN college football analyst believes that at some point, locker rooms could collapse, if something isn’t done to stabilize the sport moving forward. He’s probably not wrong about that, either.

Many college football coaches seem to agree with Herbstreit, too.
“I hate to say, I don’t have faith because you have to have faith for anything to work. So, I have a lot of faith going in, but I’ll let you know in a year. You know, the NCAA couldn’t control it in the past. There’s no control right now. So it’s got to be better than nothing, right?” Pittsburgh head coach Pat Narduzzi said.
Many head coaches are just pushing for more consistency across the sport when it comes to controlling what’s happening.
Wake Forest head coach Jake Dickert is part of that group, too.
“We’ve got to decide if we want Major League Baseball or if we want the NFL. Major League Baseball has some teams with $250 million [payrolls] and some teams playing Moneyball at $40 million,” Dickert said. “Or do we want a hard salary cap like the NFL, and who’s doing the best with their resources? You know, the NFL doesn’t have GoFundMe for free agents, right? They don’t; they play with a certain set of rules.”
