Trey Amos in the portal

[facelessjonmoon]

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.

I barely want to watch on the patio anymore. College football was fun while it lasted, I guess.

We do not have the funds to get players in the portal. It’s hard to keep homegrown talent when the P5 programs are offering closer to $200k for our guys.

I’m not a very frugal person when it comes to spending money on Cajuns sports. I renewed my tickets on Sunday and was very reluctant to do it. I love traveling to the away games but it’s more about the company I am traveling with and the fans I’ve met over the years from opposing teams fan bases. It’s the same with actually being at Cajun field. It’s more about the company and less about what is going on with the actual games. Maybe it’s cause I’m getting older and I’m not a kid that looks up to these college players. Maybe it’s what is going on with college football these days. It just isn’t fun anymore. And if these kids see that fans don’t want to be at Cajun field on Saturdays then I really can’t blame them for going to a place where people actually care. Playing in front of 80-100k rabid fans beats playing in front of 7-15k every time. I think we missed the boat when we didn’t capture those younger fans during huds first few years. It’s a shame really.

The Ragin Cajuns are looking to make a splash in year 2 of head coach Michael Desormeaux. Well, they may be losing one of their best defensive backs in Trey Amos as he enters the transfer portal.

I honestly feel as though there will be an over correction eventually. The system of offering 17 and 18 year old kids the kind of money being thrown around cannot sustain itself in the long run, with the exception of maybe a few programs.

Or at least that’s what I tell myself to sleep better at night.

Sad state of College Sports affairs with no end in sight of the corruption. This one hurts, but appears we will become a farm system at least in football. We all knew this was coming anyway. Great job NCAA in screwing everything up!

You’re right there. There is no such thing as Amateur sports in college anymore
