Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz went off on the current state of college football and the level of tampering that is in the sport.
The Mizzou Tigers are slated to face Virginia on Dec. 27 in the Gator Bowl. Ahead of their matchup, Drinkwitz was asked about the current state of college football and if coaches are discussing it or keeping to themselves about everything. Drinkwitz proceeded to say that college football is sick right now and that there are signs pointing to the sport cracking soon.

He continued talking about tampering in the sport and how every single one of his players on his roster has been called. Some have been given dollar amounts to transfer, and Mizzou still has another game left on its schedule.
“I had a dad call me and say that, and I’ve called the head coaches at their schools, this school, and this school, and this school called, and they are offering this much money,” Drinkwitz said. “We’ve worked around the system and then tried to create that as the system.”
Drinkwitz went on to say that his job is to ensure that the kids are in a better position after playing football than they were before. He stated that he’s not sure that’s happening anymore with kids transferring 4 times in their college careers.
