There's a post right now on the front page about an SEC team hitting the portal hard.

Really not trying to flame, but that team had the greatest recruiting class of all time two years ago, then finished 7–6 twice and fired their coach.

And now they're having to "hit the portal hard?"

What the hell are we (collectively) doing to college football that any of this makes sense?

I feel like we're on the verge of doing some real harm to this sport.

Sure there is more parity, but IMO the product on the field has gotten worse, not better. It's like everyone is becoming equally bad, which just makes you wonder if a lot of these guys are in that portal for a reason.

The "real harm" has already been done.

When Nick Saban started paying recruits a collective $10+ million per year...

then was followed by HIS protegee Fat Boy Kirby joined in and paid recruits and players 30+ million per year

then bama caught up with them

then got several other teams in the race

legitimizing pay for play and the farce NIL heat

It all traces back to the scumbag mideget and Fat Boy

THEY KILLED COLLEGE FOOTBALL! Roll TAHD! WOOF WOOF WOOF!
