Getting a QB in the portal is expensive. It seems to be common knowledge that a top line prospect is worth $1-$2 million. If you’ve got the money, you can buy a star. For example, three of this year's Heisman Trophy finalists — quarterbacks Bo Nix of Oregon, Michael Penix Jr. of Washington and Jayden Daniels of LSU — are transfers, as was last year's winner, USC's Caleb Williams. Same for other positions. If you want a starter, it’s going to cost you. As they say, the rich get richer. If college football is going to an NFL style, free agency model (anything goes!) why can’t there be any limits or guidelines? I know that this has been discussed but we’re watching the game just fall into the haves or have-nots. How does Iowa or Wisconsin or Minnesota compete with programs like Washington, Oregon, Ohio State or Alabama? How about a salary cap? How about a luxury tax? Texas A&M can pay Jimbo Fisher $75 million just to go away. It’s obscene. Now a regular guy like me is being asked to pony up to help my team recruit. It’s ridiculous. It’s no wonder that older coaches are throwing up their hands and walking away. Kirk has been extra vocal about the NCAA this year and it’s sheer unwillingness to step up and do anything to retain a semblance of competitive balance. Sadly recruiting and procuring talent takes precedence over actual coaching. Deon Sanders anyone?
