The portal is chaos because the players are making their own decisions now. And most athletes aren't too bright!
So what you get is a portal filled with:
-Players thinking they are better than they really are. Most athletes!
-Players not happy with their coaches decisions. Most athletes!
-Players thinking the grass is always greener on the other side. Most athletes.
I think the portal also shows you the value that these players put on their education, which is "NO value at all". Even WITHOUT getting paid, they don't value their education so imagine their priorities if they are allowed to start making money! Everyone will transfer every year for a chance at an extra $1000!!!
