Zay Flowers told ESPN this week that in the three or four days prior to the May 1 portal deadline, he received multiple six-figure offers via intermediaries from name, image and likeness companies to enter the portal and transfer. He said he was told NIL companies would give him $600,000 to transfer to one school and there was another deal that would give him $300,000 to go to a different school. Flowers had not entered the NCAA transfer portal, nor given any public indication he intended to. - ESPN reported
I support the portal. NIL as it was originally suggested certainly was realistic, but the wild wild west certainly brings unfortunate consequences to a sport many of us love and enjoy discussing on this site.
