Transfer Portal Mania

Admittedly I am addicted to college hoops, but honestly I have my limits. The current environment precludes continuity, enjoying seeing kids develop, more sleazy agents than ever and the erosion of Low D1 programs.

Obviously kids should enjoy the financial dividends of the sport, but this out of control free agency points to an immediate need for middle ground. Two year contracts seems something to consider as Moose, LMF & others have referenced.

Lastly, we get giddy sometimes when we talk about our NIL inclusive of Repole support. Keep in mind it is not a bottomless pit and guys like MR got wealthy with a return on investment mentality. When an elite program trumps your offer late for a player like Luis, Rick & powers to be have to draw the line somewhere. Yes, keeping a player like RJ helps with continuity, but there has to be a point when you say “no mas”. You also have to consider fair compensation for the entire team as well as recruits. Rutgers just landed three studs and rest assured that impacts what can pay others.

This is a tricky business blindly heading to an abyss. Hopefully sensible, bright people of influence develop a happy medium to this insanity or even a loon like me will seek alternative enjoyment.

Thank you. Informative on the $ in scope.
It's only going to get worse, believe me. Look at professional sports, they have no shame in overpaying. Same is going to be with NIL. Unfortunately, some schools are going to get burned by overpaying and the the player underachieving. I'll go as far as saying (like in professional sports), don't matter how egregious of an act a player is accused of, as long as he can put the ball in the hoop, he'll get an offer to play with an nice NIL................This is what is will become.
