No, actually I did. This just put a big spotlight on what’s been going on that I’ve been bitching about for a while.

If Harbaugh goes to the NFL, teams will try to pillage them because they just watched Ohio State drop 13m plus in the portal to try and buy a better team than Michigan.

It was always an arms race, better facilities, higher paid coaches, recruiting, etc. You watch, one of these players is going to go public with an auction for their commitment, wouldn’t be a bit shocked if that happens the next time the portal opens for everyone.

I’m all for these kids getting a piece of a very large pie that is college football. But we need to set some limits on the portal. Sit a year, no more than one transfer, lose a year of eligibility. Something.

Good article. Regardless of one’s stance on NIL (which is a righteous concept being implemented in greed stricken and disasterous ways), it really is the combination of NIL and a wide open portal that is almost immediately causing this.

It’s ok, for me anyway. I don’t hafta watch and I got to enjoy about 60 years of being a fan. Not sure it made me a better person ever, but I did enjoy it….maybe too much. I certainly don’t hafta watch games and there are plenty of real issues to start paying attention to. Hunger, generational poverty, and hurting people everywhere….none of which need to fit into anyone’s particular political or religious viewpoint to be identified as just needing help.

Love is a verb.
