For me the jury is still out. I lean more towards the good than bad for different reasons. So let's get the debate going. I'll start.
Pros: (Transfer portal)
- Teams like a SC can take advantage and recruit players they normally wouldn't have a shot at.
- Can instantly shore up depth.
- Players have a 2nd & 3rd chance to redeem their career or recieve more playing time.
- Players aren't locked in with coaches that didn't recruit them or have different coaching philosophy.
Negatives: (Transfer portal)
- Harder for teams to create competitive environment.
- Recruits don't have time to develop.
- Teams never know if a position of depth will be a non issue or if a star player will return the following year.
NIL - Pros
- Kids get paid
- Kids less focused on being drafted earlier in career.
NIL - Negatives (Lol where to start)
- Teams getting in bidding wars for kids
- Kids make bad decisions based on what someone will give them instead of the free education they are given.
I could have probably added several more opinions for each category, but would like to hear what everyone else thought.
In closing a team like ours could take advantage of transfer portal and instantly compete the following year with the right recruits. The key is to add to your talent base and have limited turn over. It's like turn over margins, you need to be on the plus side. So far I'm skeptical that we are this year. Last year we came up huge.
NIL I hate it. They are going to have to enforce some rules. I'm good with players making money, but not being poached by teams with more money. If we're just going to pay kids then let's create salary caps and contracts. This is not what college football is abouts. Kids a gifted a full ride to an institution of their choice that recruits them. Most kids are denied this opportunity due to the cost no matter how well they have done in school. I believe this is always overlooked. 99% of these kids will never play professionally. By paying them instead of teaching them to take advantage of their education will have devastating effects long term. You will see more kids Transfer and not complete their education for a small come up.
