Idk if it will improve it, but cfb is slowly dying, especially in places that aren't full of die hard cfb fans. While people mehhh at games like Washington vs Rutgers or UCLA vs Indiana (football), we also get games like usc vs Michigan and OSU vs Oregon. And if Clemson and FSU move to the SEC, Bama vs Clemson and LSU vs FSU. It's good just to get new rivalries to inject some more enthusiasm into the game.
I wish we could go back to 11 big 10 teams and stay how we were, but this transfer portal and NIL has completely destroyed any hope of keeping the old ways.
I'm glad kids can transfer and get paid, but there needs to be better control over both of those things. Idk how many players I've seen that have been with 3 or 4 different teams in the last few years.
