the ebb and flow of the tide. I truly don't envy college coaches. Sometimes the surf giveth and sometimes it taketh away. Good luck to Ben and his staff filling his roster to make the Hawks competitive.
The portal is like ...
- Thread starter GunnerHawk
- Start date
wrong. The portal is a giant whorehouse full of hot chicks who are looking for a sugardaddy.
The Portal isn't spreading her legs for just anyone.

Very graphic description, but a highly accurate analogy.

If the NFL or the NBA had a portal where everyone could be a free agent every year it would completely ruin the sport. It could never happen.
Why it is that colleges can't apply SOME restrictions?
Madness.

Part of the problem , like in so many areas today is that the courts have no business being involved in much of this. If the NCAA (for whatever its faults) which supposedly serves the member schools, cannot set any guidelines or restrictions for number of times you can transfer and maintain eligibility, or guidelines for how players can be paid, then there is no way to maintain any control. The rich will only dominate even more.
They can and they will because the adults in the room know that the current state of affairs is strangling the golden goose.
The landscape will look significantly different a year from now. I mean...the richest programs will always have an unfair advantage, but kids en mass selling themselves to the highest bidder every spring will no longer be a thing.
I don't know about a year from now, but hopefully soon, because this is a house of cards which will surely cave in on itself left unchecked......

I wish. The racial elements will come to the forefront upon any restrictions. This has always been a wealth transfer scheme and will continue until the wealth well dries up. No governing body will dare confront the social howls and protests which will result. Much less activist judges intervening.

Sure, and being paid for by the very people consistently bitching about it. Scanning the adult pay per view channels and desperate for their favorite sports team/wife to be the envy of every other fan base.
Let’s lay the blame where it belongs 🤷♂️
hmmm.....A little too tinfoil hatty for my taste.
If no one else, the P4 conference heads will make sure the golden goose remains alive and well, and shitting great gobs of money.
As long as the golden goose shits gobs of money, the “Actors” will all demand their part.
You’d have to peel it “all” backwards and I’m not sure how you’d do that. Quit funding it would be the only way and this message board is proof that likely won’t happen
Nah. Just need something like enforceable 2 season minimum contracts. Just that would reduce the chaos and FUD by 80%.
They'll figure it out because they have to.
It’s not sustainable I’d agree. When an Adam Miller who played w/Illinois, then LSU, then ASU and now back in the portal and he’s a good but hardly a great player….🤷♂️ who will command solid monies. That’s a poor system. But I’ll believe it’s fixed when it is… as for me, my life will be fine if it all disappears. I just don’t care that much anymore. I watched our men play zero full games this year. Missed halves of football….
And I’ve noticed when I don’t watch, the losses don’t mean much to me. And I’ve also noticed the losses hurt more than wins feel good….
So that again tells me, I’ve been part of the problem and I’m letting it go. At this point in time and I’m not sure whether I should brag about this or feel embarrassed, but watching Caitlin Clark play basketball is probably my greatest form of entertainment.
That and being with friends, family and clients. Sports were never meant to be this! I can enjoy watching for the game more now, not for the wins….as long as it’s not Iowa. And I’m actually a person who monitors themselves and tries to improve their lives and what comes out of my heart….
Many, maybe most, don’t….
Adam Miller was a top 30 recruit who started every game for the then #1 seed Illini.
Problem with having top 30 players is that they usually come with an enterouge constantly in their ear about how they could be doing better elsewhere. So he left for LSU and then tore his ACL or something. Then ASU, now believe it or not, he might be back with Illinois this season. smh
He's hardly and extreme case. There are plenty of players like him who have been at a different school every season. It's definitely a mess. Neither the programs nor the players are being served well by such a system.
