Steve Spurrier sounds off on the craziness of college football in 2026

Steve Spurrier, the former head coach known for revitalizing struggling football programs, has been inducted into the South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame. Spurrier, now 80 and serving as an ambassador at the University of Florida, achieved notable success with several teams, including Duke and his alma mater, Florida. His tenure at the University of South Carolina from 2005 to 2015 is particularly celebrated, where he led the Gamecocks to three consecutive 11-win seasons and consistent top 10 finishes in the AP Poll. Despite his past successes, Spurrier expressed relief at not being part of the current college football landscape, which he notes involves significant financial demands and constant roster changes due to transfer portal activity. He also commented on the lack of enforceable rules in today's game, referencing recent controversies involving player transfers.
