This is exactly why I’m full fuck college football. Shit has gone waaay off the rails. No regulation, no enforcement…just a bunch of entitled assholes chasing a bag. What is at all appealing about that?

Yeah we tended to do that when we had a once in a lifetime team returning. Still our team wasn’t built on transfers but certainly we have a few. We’ll need to do more in the portal it seems.

Right, it’s way worse than the NFL. Everyone like you mention is on a 1 year contract that’s wild.
Need to figure it out.

Wolverine is largest member of weasel family
Not to sidetrack this thread, but is the portal as wild in other collegiate sports as it is in football? I’m sure the dollars are a different level and am curious how much annual relative movement there is in other sports.

I am shocked, shocked I tell you, to read that LSU and Kiffin are somehow a part of the Demond William's story.

Being reported that Desmond pulled this move while the entire team was at a Celebration of Life for a Washington soccer player.
Gross.

Opposite. I knew full well with NIL and the portal that talent would even out. It's why I thought it was ludicrous about people crying about the rich getting richer. There are plenty of rich non-blue blood powers that could throw obscene amounts of money at recruits. Hell I'm sure Yale and Harvard could probably stack 5-stars if they actually gave a fuck about college athletics in this new world.

What happened to my ¤cash?
I can say that for my sport of lacrosse, it’s not anywhere near. I think it’s pretty simple:
1) In few sports can one make a serious living as a professional. Football is an obvious example of one where you can.
2.a) To make a living as a professional in football, one almost HAS to have significant playing time to get the opportunity. That’s one motivation for the activity.
2.b) Even those who have a chance to play professionally know that a long career is likely not in the cards so one has to maximize their value when they have the opportunity. Second motivation for the activity.
3) For the non-revenue athletes choices for where to go to school tend to be as much about school as it is about athletics. While this is definitely true in lacrosse, I have to imagine that it’s true in many other sports. To that end, that’s one reason for a lack of activity in the portal from other (non-revenue) sports. If a kid does want to transfer they do have to do the portal thing, but it’s generally just part of the process and candidly, being non-revenue sports… the likelihood of anyone tweeting about it is nearly zero. So, on top of lower numbers, it’s also far less out there for the world to see.
I will say, in lacrosse, an option that I see frequently enough is that a varsity player becomes disenfranchised and rather than transferring they leave the team and join the club team. It’s a way to continue to enjoy the game without the level of commitment as a varsity athlete. All in, non-revenue athletics is a very different landscape.
