Link: 2026 Transfer Portal

Portal is closed players in it are now facing the reality of not having a home since they left and their positions backfilled. Not necessarily for us, but I do wonder how many of those guys suddenly have become real cheap just to get in a roster and will be quality depth pieces for someone.
 
Can't argue with that. it has already started with corporations logos on the field. Soon the jersey will probably look like something out of NASCAR.
Nope, cant argue with what he said and I dont think a PE firm has to get involved to strip loyalty from the game. The NIL and portal are already doing that.

I believe they stated on WJOX that 46% of Division 1 portal entries are still unplaced.
What a shame for a young man to get bad advice and loose a scholarship. Tough life lessons learned.

They won’t lose a scholarship. They added 20 more scholarships this season to each team. Now they might not get the school they wanted but there is still plenty of options available to find homes.

I suppose some of that number could be attributed to the glut that occurred when all of the players got an extra year of eligibility due to Covid... 🤔

That Glut had to eventually disappear somewhere. 😎

Yeah, but players are suing for 5-6-7 years of eligibility. That doesn’t help either. Plus , now I saw coaches voted unanimously on a rule to allow players to play in 9 games to burn a redshirt. If that passes, and no reason it shouldn’t if coaches want it , that basically gives players an extra year. These are crazy times. And the portal will get clogged with forgotten players. As I said before, people alleged that Nick oversigned and kicked players out of his program to make room. Now, we have coaches telling entire teams to hit the portal.

What’s the point of giving them more games to play and still redshirt. They won’t be at your program in a couple years anyway.
