I don't like this at all. I understand NIL money. I don't like the portal stuff. It's tampering in my view. It's tortious interference with a contract. Or is there a contract? If not, there needs to be. I understand people need to transfer for a variety of legitimate reasons beyond pure money. Let them transfer then without the right for NIL money the first year they transfer. If they are to be allowed to break a contract then that is their penalty. Of course, they'll stack double the money in the remaining years but at least the player can only transfer once and has to gamble on themselves for that first year with no money. And I'd say, no approaching a first year enrollee at all until the season in the fall is played (all the way thru the championship game).
There's probably some holes in there but imagine if Hill, Simmons and Wingo bailed on us. It's ridiculous. And if they did, it would forever end any loyalty to players from the fans. We just go to the games and hope those guys in burnt orange (or white) win. Otherwise, who cares about recruiting or anything else. Instead, we will root for those smart alumni who spent their college years in the library and hope they make enough money to buy players. Those BMD's will be the true team.
