re: Portal Hurting or Helping CFB?

I initially thought the portal would help bring parity to cfb. Traditionally, high tier teams like Bama would hoard 4/5* athletes on the bench who would have started on 100 other teams. I thought the portal would allow alot of those guys to spread out across the landscape.

But so far, it's been the other way around. The upper tier schools are using it to pluck what few diamonds in the rough from the lesser schools.

Instead of Wake Forest getting some badass linebackers and db's riding the bench from the SEC, the SEC goes and takes their one good player in Jamie La'Jai Newman.

And alot of high quality bench riders that are leaving the SEC are going to other top tier schools. No parity is growing.


What do yall think?

I'm not sure how you could have thought it would work out any way other than like it has done.

Think it's bad now, wait until they get to profit from their likenesses. You think the better profit is at Wake Forest or UGA?
