Yes, kids have transferred occasionally, but had to sit out unless they were graduated.


So?
They are gone.
Why does the year make any difference to your happiness in college football?
It comes off as the cool thing to complain about something that has happened for decades.

There were like 700+ in the friggin portal last time. That isn't like before.

Why do you care who transfers out of Arkansas and who transfers into Syracuse?
Honestly.
quote:

Bag men only got to so many players and some got in trouble and avoided it. Now, these kids are getting MILLIONS and flashing it around and threatening to leave if it isnt more, entering portal to get more or just say frick it....

The only difference is the dollar amounts.
Why does the dollar amount bother you?
Do you shite yourself over what your neighbor makes?
Your siblings or cousins?
Why are you acting different for high school/college athletes?
Why is it personal?

This is NOTHING like before

Perception is in the eye of the beholder.

I am happy (repeat happy) to agree to disagree.
Many on here are miserable to disagree.
Nothing is new. Just the perception/insecurity of the triggered fans.

You’re just flat out wrong. Massive impact and future NFL players being tampered and offered huge NIL deals because they were hurt missed time and promising freshman performed adequately is bullshite

Future nfl players were never tampered and offered money before?

It is the same shite.
Different day.
The only thing new is the outrage. The pearl clutching. Because some other team benefitted this time.

Geez. If only some had relentlessly sounded the warning about EXACTLY what would happen….

About what sacredness was at stake. And what predictable mess would replace it

I have zero sympathy or nostalgia for this current grim reality. Based on how it went down. And by who facilitated it. Or by who cheered it on (retards)

I left it all on the field. And loved it with everything while it was still gold.

DJ Uiagalelei left Clemson for Oregon State and is now in the portal again. He started at both. That hasn’t been going on for decades.

I'm sorry that bothers you so much.

JT Daniels probably gave you a stroke.

Prayers sent.

To be fair, DJO is only leaving his second destination because 1. His coach left the program and 2. They have no conference anymore.

Gotta find a legit landing spot for more film in effort to get to the league.

I’d love for you to find a post where I said a gave a shite. I just pointed out that it hasn’t happened like it is now for decades.

Pair it with targeting nonsense making tackling illegal, the constant barrage of commercials, and now the extended playoff. Suddenly CFB has become an entirely new thing, and it sucks.

I'm pointing out that you have made 2 posts about it.

Maybe you don't give a shite. I'm not your psychologist.

But it is worth 2 posts on a message board?
It means something to you.

Do we need to lay odds on a third post?

It’s harder and harder for me to care when the players aren’t playing for the university but for a paycheck.
