Yeah, I don’t fault the players.  I wish they’d stay, but some of that money is potentially life changing.

I don't blame them either.  I blame our NIL for not doing much to help us.  If you can't sell a house within a reasonable period of time would you not change realtors?  I don't get why we are stuck with Light the Tower?  They suck.

Nothing stopping you from starting a new and better NIL program.  Just do that.

I’m sorry but this is a bad take. Ya it sucks and I wish the portal didn’t open until after bowl season, but I can’t blame players for taking life changing money.

The current system, as it is currently implemented, is definitely stacked against us.  Unfortunately, it's unlikely to change materially in the foreseeable future.  We can bitch and moan about it or take action.  There is a way to use it as it's currently defined to our advantage, attract talent, win championships and eventually claw our way out of the situation we find ourselves in.  I shared that in another topic, but unfortunately the entire topic was deleted.

Of course, and any of our portal guys can be back in fans good graces if they make the right choice and stay. But until such a time, git out.

Considering, it looks like between us and a few others, we are about to completely raid SHSU of their entire defense (maybe team?), it's a pretty icky situation all around.  Marshall looks to be in a similar situation with their entire team possibly following their HC to Southern Miss.  I don't think that's NIL, but the free transfer gone wild.

Losing your entire team if/when you lose your coach is just a ridiculous situation to be in.  When it happens in basketball, it sucks, but feels manageable due to the roster sizes being so much smaller by comparison.  I get that we were able to bring in 70+ transfers last offseason, but that didn't exactly lead to a successful season this year.  It didn't work for Colorado, either, the poster child for this era.  Year 2 they did better, but they held on to the core of their team from the first.
