re: Transfer portal - good or bad for college football?

Everything about college football right now is bad.

I blame the NFL and it’s player union. The rule for “3 years removed from HS” is their rule. They should not be relying on college football to be their farm system. They should have used some of their profits and salaries to fund developmental leagues so that those that truly think they are ready to go pro out of HS can. The kids that actually wanted to play college ball under the conditions offered would have no excuses.

Now CFB has this unbelievable mess on its hands that’s only going to get worse. It’s ultimate form will be 10-20 powerhouse programs that will operate like a pro league, the players having no loyalty to the school and less positive fan engagement. You can now legally lure a current player to a rival team with cash. Sorry, but most of the appeal of CFB has been that these players are just kids that chose the same school as you for at least some of the same reasons.

It sucks, but it’s over.
