Portal: I get the downside of it

[Capt. Tuttle]

but much like free agency (and the draft) it keeps the interest up during otherwise downtimes.

That is true, it’s kind of chaotic energy though.

It's the college football equivalent of doom scrolling.

From the football perspective, the portal has helped the football team much more than any downside. With Fran at the helm and being such an incredible recruiter it is our sharpest tool in the shed

There is not enough space on the internet to list all the ways

Tarrif the portal... Fund social security

I'm suffering from information overload and identity loss. Who are all these guys and will they stay at SU long enough to be important to me? Our roster is like a turnstile.

The portal has been a net positive for SU. I have no complaint.

Thank god we have the NCAA to be on top of things and be prepared for any changes...

Oh it's even better than that.

Because the SEC states are going to have outsized influence.

You know, the states that annually rank among the worst performing in the country according to silly things like education, health, median household income, etc.

Basically, EXACTLY who you don't want making decisions.

I’m not sure if it was complacency or just a lack of desire to revamp the recruiting system, but Dino just didn’t seem dynamic or have the will to be dynamic enough to manage this type of environment.

When he started using the portal as an excuse about the offense’s issues when we hadn’t even lost any significant offense players to the portal that year, I knew he was doomed.

 

[orangepassion]

It's been overall very good for us. One thing i don't like about it is it messes over the guys in College Football who waited their time...just to have someone transfer in and cut the line.
