Message: [QUOTE="Stern, post: 4247701, member: 527"] It was a good article, thanks for sharing. College sports is dead, it is now Semi-Pro Ball. There is no such thing as recruiting anymore, it's free agency. People just haven't realized it yet. The romance of college sports is over. Not all fans have gotten there yet, they will soon. I heard a reporter tied into the Philadelphia sports scene and Nova talking about Jay Wright leaving Villanova on the radio the other day. He said Jay like many college coaches don't want to put up with the NIL and Transfer portal. So he just quit. That he wanted to quit last year but came back for his seniors and he played a short bench this year and not a lot of younger guys as to not get emotionally attached to them so he wasn't drawn back for another year. NIL is bad, the transfer portal is worse. It went from a coach can't buy a kid a hamburger to what the NIL is. Which anyone who didn't have their head in the sand saw coming a mile away. The romance of college sports is gone and it isn't ever coming back. That article and a 45-year-old offensive line coach of the defending champs just leaving is crazy. Never would have happened in the past. This guy would have been a lifer and possibly a head coach someday. Now, it's not worth the headache. These guys would be happier in the USFL and XFL than in college sports and that should NOT be the case. [I](also on a side note, I know this is the football board. But that same reporter with the insight on Jay Wright said Jay also saw the handwriting on the wall that non-Power 5 teams and teams in the Northeast who happen to be in the P5 conference won't be able to compete in basketball soon as the money in the South and the Southern schools for NIL deals is just too big. The SEC will be to basketball what it currently is to college football)[/I] [/QUOTE]
