Georgia coach Kirby Smart, the dean of Southeastern Conference coaches with two national titles, shared his thoughts on the state of college football at SEC media days. Smart emphasized that his focus is on what wins football games, rather than bigger picture issues like expansion and name, image, and likeness payments.

College Football Challenges

Smart acknowledged the challenges facing college football, including the impact of the transfer portal and the need for guardrails on player compensation. He also expressed concerns about the potential consequences of unsustainable spending on player salaries.

Despite these challenges, Smart remains committed to his team and the sport, recognizing the importance of finding a balance between competing interests. As the Bulldogs prepare to defend their SEC title and make a run at another national championship, Smart’s leadership and experience will be crucial in navigating the complexities of college football.
