Ruins college sports by taking away amateurism.

The portal is only one of the recent changes that have ruined college football. Nice try though.

The portal is great for those kids that go to Texas A&M, then realize it is a freakish cult and not worth the NIL money.

How does the transfer portal take away amateurism? NIL sure, but the transfer portal is no different than a regular student not being happy at their college and transferring to a different school

says the fan of the team with the most resources that still can't figure it out. Imagine if no portal though or nil and you had to pry recruits away from Texas. Oof.

OP wants to treat players like property and take away their freedoms.

The portal has nothing to do with amateurism.

Next step will be approved contracts for hire so teams can manage rosters better.

To expound a bit further, the consolidation of conferences that have members spanning coast to coast, the discontinuation of rivalries, mass opt outs for bowl games, and NIL combined with the ability to transfer immediately if one's feelings are hurt upon the realization that the other guy is better and more deserving of playing time have all combined to destroy the greatest sport that ever was. CFB is now nothing more than a minor league for the NFL.

I don't know why we couldn't still have a playoff but retain more conferences that all had the same geographic footprint. I miss the days of the SEC, ACC, Big East, Big 10, Big 8, SWC, Mountain West, and PAC 10. In no universe should West Virginia and Oklahoma State be in the same conference. Or USC and Penn State.

Bwahaahahahahaha

Aggy 5 star defensive line hits the portal and aggy cries about it.



It will take a decade for aggy to recover from this.

Elko will surely get fired before 2024 season end.

I didn't hear A&M fans complaining when they were buying #1 recruiting classes. You reap what you sow.
