Transfer Portal

I don't understand why people keep comparing jobs to college athletes. Apples and oranges.

College athletics is their job. Just as most of us would leave our current employer for a substantial raise, it’s not unreasonable to expect college athletes to do the same.

Right, because coaches don't sign contracts, have buyouts and integrity clauses. Sounds nothing like the corporate business world.

You go to college for a "future" payday. Not a temporary one.

Quality athletes need playing time more than anything.

NFL vs $50G

What the NCAA is creating with all these P5 waivers is an entire generation of Antonio Brown type personalities.

Oh, they were already there. The NIL ruling just opened the barn door.

Maybe Billy will pull Marlin from the transfer portal

I definitely think their are similarities.

A college athlete has 5 years to capitalize on their abilities, whether that capitalization is based on future professional opportunities, or the best life experience possible (playing in front of sell out crowds, improving chance to receive a "better" education, better networking opportunities, etc).

Working people have X number of years to capitalize on their future so they can retire early, provide for their families, etc.

A silver lining to all of this is there will be no pressure on CMD to repeat the dream season. The SBC board is practically giddy. They think we’re done.

We have the advantage

Turbine, what if a player from UL doesn't get excited to run out of our tunnel when theres only 20k fans in the stand, on a good day?

What if he's looking for lifetime memory of running out of a tunnel to 70,000+ fans screaming and the opportunity to play on prime time slots?

While future paydays are certainly a common denominator, it's not always about that.

You think basketball is bad now? The NIL deal is going to make this year’s transfer portal make last year’s look like church. Even a cool million spreads a whole lot nicer across a roster in MBB than FB. Watch KU and the MBB blue bloods this spring.
