Interesting you say that, because I was listening to a podcast yesterday( I think it was the 520 pod), and they mentioned a player who hit the Portal thinking that he'd get a bigger NIL deal. No school picked him for the offer he was seeking and he had to drop out of college because he couldn't find a school in time for the season. They were probably talking about basketball, but its still the same. The kid is now working at a retail store, waiting to try and get into any college possible nowJust sayin': The kids hear/read about other players on other teams getting a large amount of NIL money. "Unscrupulous agents" promise these kids a big NIL contract if they sign with him/her and enter the transfer portal. Once they enter the transfer portial they surrender their scholarship at their existing school.
I'd like to see the number of players that fall for some agent's promises, enter the transfer portal, get no NIL offers, lose the scholarship that they had, and are out of school with no chances of ever earning a college degree (which might result in a better paying job).
