    Well at least we now have a template excuse for our next blocking running back who portals out…the fan base always needs to have a ready to go excuse to overlook a 5 win season and bad coaching.

    I’m saying they’re getting a lot more than simply being paid.

    The resources necessary to offer something close to what they get as a scholarship football player would cost way more than they’d be worth. This just isn’t necessary because you’re still very likely to be filling those extra spots with players who are unlikely to ever see any meaningful game time. Some of the 85 never see any meaningful pt as it is.

    I’m all for it if one of you guys want to set all this up fund it, I just don’t think it’s going to work out like you think. If one of the big schools starts doing it, others will likely follow suit, but I don’t believe it’s going to be some big producer of usable talent. It’s just going to cause a bunch more attrition, and piss away a bunch more money.

    In our case, the money would be much better spent on luring better talent to fill out the 85.

    Not opining on how we got to this portal mess, but two thoughts. First, since this is a free for all, I would expect most players to do what most Americans try to do and make as much money in their occupation as they can (balanced with some level of meaning/joy of work). Second, I’m guessing a lot of these guys do go in the portal and find that what they think is their value is wrong - and that is an education too! Free market creates winners and losers.

    Hell of an expensive hobby the NIL Funders play….
