Interesting article.  I like the term 'energy vampires.'   So true.

But it's interesting to get some of Sabans thoughts on what's going on.

[I]“The transfer portal has created a real challenge for all of us in terms of how to manage rosters,” Saban said. “Name image and likeness is something I think is great for the players if we can keep it in the context of them being able to do that. When you start using it to get guys to come to certain schools based on how much money they can make, I’m not sure — That’s the reason that you go to college is to create value for your future. So that’s going to trickle down to the high schools in terms of some guys are going to say ‘I’m not going to play for my team in high school because I’m going to get this much money to go somewhere and go to college.”[/I]

Side note but porta-ling and skipping the bowl games...I though about Courtney Jackson and Linton and these guys and giving up their opportunity to play in a bowl game.  I don't know what I would do, if I would scrap my bowl game to move on after putting in the work all season.  These are opportunities that don't come around often but I guess being young you don't recognize that.  I think if I were to advise a player I'd tell him to wait until after the bowl game to make the move.
