Trey Amos in the portal

I really don’t think the transfer portal is killing the G5 schools. I think some coaching staffs are taking advantage of it and bringing in players from power five schools that may not be getting enough playing time and that could help G5 , but our coaching staff is not doing this?

That's the flip side. There are many good players not getting PT that are looking for a new home. This opportunity needs to be strongly considered going forward.

Absolutely, that's why Des needs to be proactive in the portal.

Recruiting by the P5 schools is an open ended straw. Some recruit comes in on one end, and someone who was really really good in high school gets spit ot the other end.

Heard he has a few NIL offers in well into the 6 figure range. We will never be able to compete with that.

I’m sure in time they’ll even come after softball.

I am afraid more than him will be in the portal.

So ____ed up

It is what college football is today. We are far from the only school that this happens to. Mid majors and lower level P5's will continue to get poached by the big boys, aka top level P5's. I'm sure they operate in a totally legal and above board manner just like I believe Will Wade is a person of high moral and ethical character.

As a season ticket and TG spot holder since graduation in the mid 90s and an RCAF member since its inception, I am seriously considering quitting putting money into college football. I’ll just sit on my patio on Saturdays in the fall and watch TV. NIL and transfer portal is killing the G5 schools.

I’m fishing in the same hole as you.

I never thought I’d see the day, but I seriously hesitated when hitting renew on my season tickets. I just don’t see how my attitude will get better next year.

I've already done this. Sad to say

[Cajunrunner]

It's making harder and harder to support college football. The NIL in theory was a good idea but it's absolutely ruining college sports. You find develop a player only to see him leave

This. Pretty much to the point where I’m not going to care to even bother watching Cajuns football, which is a bummer because football has always been my favorite sports to watch.

I need to start appreciating Cajuns baseball even more.

Don’t give up. We need all of you at the games, but I know the feeling.

Des has to start using the portal. He will have no choice if he wants to keep his job.
