How much time was actually spent talking transfer portal rather than the game just a few days ago during this press conference? Morris was obviously more excited talking about next year than this game.
This is the very effect NIL has had on our fans...knowing our star QB and receiver have bailed out into the Portal for more NIL somewhere else.
Plus EM basically admitted the defense was a mess and needed a new leader and fixing.
All this has taken away from the excitement of a Bowl,, We will still cheer for NT....and maybe they will surprise us!!??
Man, watching this porous Iowa State defense give up gashing runs and TD after TD. . . . Is that really what we saw and said, "Let's bring that to Denton!"
It's not an either/or situation. We can't talk bowl games without talking NIL/portal because those rules have stripped anything of value away from those games.
Who wants to see an anemic UNT offense and no DC take on the leftovers of texas state?
Will I go and cheer? F* yeah. But I'll also be drinking myself into a moderate coma of which I have great doubt my wife will approve of.
Bowl games have lost their prestige. Too many teams, too many bowls, too few people to cheer for anymore.
