re: Transfer portal has ruined college sports!!!

Money ruined college sports.

The schools caved in to television. They took the money and did what the networks wanted.

Tradition lost out to the dollar sign. Games were arranged for tv. Kickoff times were set by tv. Games got longer and longer because of tv. Conferences were destroyed because of tv. Rivalry games were lost because if tv.

The schools, ath departments, and coaches prospered. As bigger and bigger tv contracts came rolling in the contracts for everyone got bigger and bigger. Everyone involved got bigger and bigger pieces of the pie except the players.

It was inevitable that the players would eventually get theirs too. The NCAA tried spoon feeding them a little sugar, but the courts looked hard at the situation and blew it all up.

The transfer portal is not what ruined football. It’s just allowing the players to do what the coaches have been doing for years. Cut the best deal for themselves.
