re: Portal Extravaganza: Round 2! I’ve been twittered. The search for scout team QB continues.

Sorry someone already posted that Amaris is back. I am a bit behind on the uptake. This is just huge for us.

I'd hate losing Malcolm, but if he can't be logical and wait one year or just share some snaps then Bye.....

Worried about Malcolm portaling after that, but we’ll try and keep him to a certain point.

Why? Simmons will still have his role. 2nd string slot that gets about 30ish snaps because Singleton will play the slot and the X position as well.

This fear of upgrading the room and losing players have to stop. I love Simmons but if he bounces with his role as a true sophomore I’m not sure what the staff could do. Simmons and Cain at slot isn’t very comforting to think about.

I think you answered your own question.

We still need to get Singleton first. Hopefully he will decide or announce this morning so we can work on our next move.

Gonna renegotiate every year. There is no loyalty it’s about the $$$

Sports teams gonna have to work on culture and things like that to help retain talent, but make no mistake it’s about the $$$

Just give them contracts at this point. That would at least have the possibility of slowing down this wholesale transferring every year.

This is a disaster.

I'm wondering how long it will be before whole rosters start demanding so much it breaks the NIL funds based on the top few players. This just seems like it will eventually start dividing teams and be one more thing for HCs to control.

I have the contrary opinion that this will work itself out into some sort of a middle ground as long as you have professional roster management. You pay the best players and get them in. You are then forced to give them enough touches for them to be productive which will hopefully lead to team success. If someone underperforms even with chances given, they are gone or take a cut and their funds move to bump others who are lower on the totem pole and top up others who exceeded expectations. Just have to run it like a business operation until there are rules. I am sure there are enough NFL GM types who would love to do this job since without a collective bargaining agreement, the players don’t have much negotiating power other than the fact that they can threaten to leave. Of course the NCAA can diminish all of this by bringing back the one year sit down after transfer rule if there are no mitigating circumstances, but they are spineless.

Nah they dont really have contracts. Kaden Proctor got NIL at Iowa just to leave shortly after.

If a coach gets bought out, a real contract associates cost of acquisition. Time to treat these contracts like more than paper and treat these kids as men that signed papers..
