Former NFL Star Tiki Barber Critiques College Football Unpredictability

Former New York Giants star Tiki Barber has sparked controversy with his blunt critique of college football, calling it a "bad watch" and saying "college football sucks" during his WFAN radio show. Barber explained his view by pointing out the unpredictability and inconsistent quality of college teams, noting that even good teams often disappoint, making it difficult for viewers to discern who is truly strong. While he acknowledged that college football has evolved in terms of preparation and playbooks, aiding rookie quarterbacks in transitioning to the NFL, Barber remains critical of the overall entertainment value of the college game. His comments have drawn backlash from fans who see college football as a cultural staple and appreciate its rivalries, storylines, and passionate following. Despite the criticism, Barber’s remarks resonate in New York, where college football has less prominence compared to other regions. The debate highlights the divide between passionate college football fans and critics who view the sport’s unpredictability and uneven quality as drawbacks rather than charms.
