I am a sports purist, so my feeling is that coaching and player changes should not occur until the season is over for all teams, which is Tuesday January 10th - any movement of coaches/players, or recruiting of coaches/players on a current college roster is just plain tampering with another teams season (which is why pro sports have a moratorium on this type of thing)
HOWEVER, since the NCAA has no rule for this and since the various teams do not respect any type of common curtesy in this regard, then what occurs is a “I will do what is right for me situation”
This is why I support CAG coming to USF immediately and why I feel CJS seriously put us behind the 8-ball by staying with Clemson
As for the bowl games, there are way too many useless (made for television) games that nobody really cares about - to your point, I am not going to watch CMU slug it out with Northern Iowa in the Look At Me TikTok Bowl - the bowl system should be condensed down to the playoff system that is coming and that is it
