Farley makes some good points here. He's boosting UNI but I think it can apply to SIU and all FCS schools:
One of the biggest shifts, according to Farley, came in the heart of college athletics where the purity of the game was lost. Described as a spirit and pride of the school and community, college athletics no longer centers on what differentiated it from professional sports.
“It has lost that edge a little bit because it became about money when you throw in NIL and portals,” Farley said. “You lose the greatest part about the sport. The greatest part about the sport is the spirit and the comradery and the fans, school, university and the ownership of this is your school. I think we lost that in this whole process.”
