I love NIL and the portal

[djcon57]

Thank god for NIL and the portal

We wouldn’t have got a season with Kyle McCord and Jackson Meeks without it

 

[phil77]

Are we going to be portal QB U ?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Amen.

NIL and Portal evened the playing field a bit. I am all for it.

Just wanted to make this thread awhile back to even out the "NIL IS RUINING COLLEGE SPORTS" posts that frequent the bball board these days or we saw a ton when we lost Duce a couple years back

When we're bad, NIL = bad...so if we're good, must mean it's good?

When you have a coach who can recruit and knows how to use NIL, and the portal you win.

Put to play with the big boys we need $20m. That isn't going to happen.

We beat Miami. We played with the big boys. We get a couple breaks this year and we are in the playoff. Stop being negative.

 

[hoopsupstate]

You don’t need $20 million. You just need the right guys who want to compete. $20 million didn’t beat Michigan.

Agree that all things considered it definitely did. Only sad part about it is 4 year guys that you used to get to watch develop from under the radar recruits into leaders and stars are becoming more of a rarity. Once they develop into stardom a good amount will be plucked away by “bigger programs”. The amount of Marlowe Waxs and Oronde Gadsdens will become less and less they already have. Luckily we have Fran at the helm who can navigate this better than most.

We’ll never have a record like FSU this year if the locals don’t contribute a lot more!!!!!

net positive for college football, terrible for college basketball.

Agreed, unless these basketball players taking money to sit the bench at SEC schools realize it's doesn't help them get better, It's definitely going to skew toward those schools (not that a school with mid range NIL money like Syracuse can't be making the tourney once in awhile)

For football, I have no doubt the SEC and Big 10 will try something in near future to stop what appears to be occurring where your Smith's of SMU and guys like Meeks can go to another team and star vs being depth for a powerhouse. Not sure what they will try, but they won't take it sitting down

SU isn’t in the SEC or Big 10. They don’t need 20M

Coach Fran’s goal is to win a Natty, not just the ACC.

Who do you think you’re going to need to beat to win a Natty? Right, teams from the SEC and Big 10 (Big 12 too) so we need a roster that can compete with the best teams in the country not just the ACC.

The top programs in the country have approximately $15-$20 mil in NIL. The top players will follow the money regardless of which conferences have the teams with the money.

If you just want to be a good ACC team who can win 10 games every few years, then you’re right, we don’t need that much NIL $$$.

Then we're not playing with the big boys. Our ceiling is limited to
ACC play, a league that may not be around in the long run.

No you don't.

You aren’t playing 12 of them a season. You can build a roster that has enough talent to beat anyone in a one or two game scenario without that much, it’s the depth you need to get through those conferences that’s the issue and the expense.

 

[Marsh01]

the portal is killing the college football bowls not named the CFP. I wish they would change the portal dates to post January 1st. This crap where you can portal immediately after the season is suicide.

Tough for fans to commit to a bowl game when they dont know who will be playing. I still am stunned that people traveled to Florida last year for that cess pool of a game.

 

[tep624]

Without NIL and the portal we wouldn’t be on the verge of a 10 win season and top 20 final ranking. Period.

 

[bigmike]

The Port-NIL has been good to the Orange IMO..

It giveth & taketh.
Ultimately, I think it will ruin college sports, but its led us to 9 wins, so who knows?

Without the portal, our hoops team would be being led by Q & Benny now, so there is that.

 

[Eric15]

It's definitely ironic how a lot of folks thought that NIL would turn Syracuse into an afterthought that can't compete with the big boys. And what do you know, we just competed with the big boys pretty well this season.

 

[upperdeck]

if the portal was in Jan how would that change what the kids who want to Portal would do? The semester is over and they probably would still skip the game to portal.
