Look Who's Transferring Now (The Portal)

Just sayin': I don't know if I agree with that. Very few college players are making anything close to $1M per year (see NFL minimum salaries below). Besides. the NFL is most college players' ultimate goal and will always be the "end game".

Minimum Salaries​

Minimum salaries on the active roster are governed by Article 26, Section 1 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Minimum salaries are determined by credited seasons, as defined in Article 26, Section 2, which are earned if players on "full pay status" for at least 3 games in most circumstances. This is often but not always equal to a player's accrued seasons, calculated differently under Article 8, Section 1.

Change the starting season, number of credited seasons, and contract length in the controls before to highlight the minimum salaries due to a player for each season of the contract.

I’m not saying that the numbers aren’t correct, but I’m just saying that a number of these players are transferring in hopes the next school pays more and might provide more PT. And if the NFL was still the end game for so many, then they wouldn’t keep returning back to college in record numbers. There wouldn’t be so many 6th year seniors and players filing for extra years in college if they were so keen to go to the NFL. Diego Paivea is pleading for a 7th year in college rather than declare for the NFL. Years ago that’d be insane to think, and many would think that he should declare and not worry when he’ll get drafted. But we all know he’ll barely get drafted so returning to college would be more lucrative

Experienced starters are expensive when they hit the open market. There aren't quite as many sixth-year super seniors returning this fall as the COVID-year players graduate and cycle out, but there were still a ton of veteran players who entered the portal for one extra year of college and NIL earnings rather than enter the draft and try to make an NFL roster or practice squad.

2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments, Arrogant Twatwaffles, Emasculated Cucks, Feckless Marmots, Dirty Cheaters "Mid"chigan

Yeah, he’s gone.

Per On3:
Doubt it. He's the guaranteed starter despite throwing like Edward Scissorhands. That's not going to happen anywhere else for at least a year.
Michigan QB Bryce Underwood's NIL earnings are estimated around $3 million per year, part of a reported historic multi-year deal valued between $10-$12 million, potentially covering his college tenure, with contributions from figures like Larry Ellison, Tom Brady, and Dave Portnoy. This massive deal, which secured him for Michigan over LSU, includes a base valuation, sponsorships (Beats, Celsius, Hollister), and significant long-term business support, making him one of college football's highest earners even as a freshman

Just sayin': I doubt it too. Nobody is going to offer him more NIL money than he is currently guaranteed to get at scUM. If a school is going to throw that much $$$ at a QB in the transfer portal; they are going to throw it at one of the top rated/ranked QBs in the portial like Sam Leavitt or Byrum Brown.

P.J. Fleck (Boat Rower, HC Minnesota Golden Gophers)

Pretty good in bowl season and NFL talent production. Just won’t ever be a serious contender in the conference.

Just sayin': Just 2 more wins and they tie Free Shoe's record of 11 consecutive bowl wins. Of course just before those 9 consecutive wins the Gophers had lost 7 consecutive bowl games in a row.....:lol:

WR Bryson Rodgers (National Champion, transfer to ???)

He’s entering the portal.

No longer a team member in “my” opinion.
Well last year there were certain people transfering allowed to be with the team and others that weren't. Some werre their own decision but sounded like others weren't who knows what it is in this situation

Aggie looking to unload my Cotton Bowl Tickets

Are these on the OSU side?
They are in the endzone. I’m expecting this to be 80% buckeyes, 15% Canes and 5 % neutral. So I expect regardless of where you sit, you will be surrounded by Buckeye fans. Miami did not have many fans at A&M.

I’m looking for $250 each on these. $1000 for the 4. I paid $681 for each so taking a huge loss. If I can’t get that, I’ll just gather some buddies and go to the game as I’m in Dallas

2025 Cotton Bowl: #2 tOSU vs #10 Miami-FL, Wed 12/31 7:30 ET at JerryWorld

They hit the portal pretty hard for OL guys iirc... so it's not for lack of identifying the need or trying to address it.

I'm not making excuses for Tshabola. I'm just saying that he probably has been the best option, or, the least bad option.
We keep forgetting last years playoffs. Good guys are in good shape for another successful run.
