We really haven’t done much in the football transfer portal when it comes to aqquring players

You stated my feelings much more eloquently than I did. If we want to be competitive we have to play the NIL/ Pay for Play game. So we have to raid other, smaller schools the way we’re being raided. At which point we’re no longer so much good ol’ ISU as a conglomerate of athletes who we don’t really know what their motivation is for choosing us. Just renting players for probably an average of two years, quite possibly less. You can already see it with MBB.
Be glad we’re not Texas, they are losing players to the portal like crazy. 8 players in the last month I think and I was making fun of them today after they lost another receiver. I commented on the longhorn wire that while ISU is getting 3 players drafted in the first 4 rounds of the NFL, Texas players are looking to get drafted in the transfer portal. I think it’s safe to say that my comment wasn’t popular after that, lol.
I have always wondered that too but I think it goes to show the character of CMC and his loyalty to his players. I think it’s tough to be a coach because you don’t want to go looking for players in the portal and annoy the ones you have on those specific positions that you would be recruiting. If I was a player and my coach is recruiting a quick fix for my position then that would annoy me. So maybe that’s how CMC is approaching this whole portal thing.
With the non stop turnover, as a fan asking me to stay interested.. This would be like if a tv show flipped over a 1/3 of their characters every few episodes and still having interest. Not sustainable
The NIL toilet only holds so much water. All these kids swirling in the flush. Then still have to compete for playing time against all the kids coming together into these pay toilets. Good luck with that!
Instead of buying tickets to football games.... maybe all the fans in the country can use that money to buy players instead and just watch from home? Then the players would all be playing in empty stadiums.... is that what they want? I suppose they wouldn't care as long as they were making big bucks. What a world we live in. Money drives everyone.
I’ll show up for games like always. Cheer on who represents the cardinal and gold. Those that transfer out are erased from my memory as they are now irrelevant.
I would be stunned if he didnt have a new "home" already locked down.
Altho, you never know, maybe he just got pissed about something and snapped and bailed. Stay tuned.
Meanwhile, it sucks.

The game has changed significantly with roster management becoming more difficult than ever
Bring back the sit out year. There has to be some accountability for signing with a school out of high school.College football coaches eager to catch breath as transfer portal's May 1 deadline pauses roster churn

Yeah that's my bad, just saw the name and was surprised. Lesson learned!
That’s crazy coming from you.
It will be interesting to see if he was contacted by an agent. Also it will be interesting to see if some of the players end up not finding a home and end up in division AA.
