Message: [QUOTE="Red Holzman, post: 4488638, member: 7255"] The NIL and transfer portal have resulted in top-tier athletes becoming mercenaries. The product suffers from a fan perspective. It is deflating when a key player followed all season hits the portal and abandons the program just before the bowl game the team earned. Watching development of players over 4yrs and "knowing the team" has high fan value. Wholesale roster rebuilds by losing to the portal/pounding the portal every season is toxic to me. I like the team aspect, and "knowing" the players. It is what it is -remains to be seen whether following SU and college sports in this scenario is for me. [/QUOTE]
