A&M - Next Mass Exodus

Mark my words. The transfer portal will be full of every 4 & 5 star who doesn’t get the starting nod on A&M’s roster next year

i think you will start seeing these type players transfer when they dont get the NIL money they were promised when recruited

Who cares what happens over there. Until they win something they are a non factor.

They won't transfer if the pay is good.

There are no contracts, right? They’ll just go and get more cash somewhere else.

Transfer portal is a disaster. NCAA should revisit the protocol. Players are taking advantage of the NIL money, so you will see more activity in the transfer portal.

If they are being paid 100k a yr, they'd only leave to another school paying more.

There won't be Maas transfers. What 19 yr old kid cares about playing time when they'll be worth 500k by time they turn 22. I played d1 sports, and as much as I'd like to say I'd have drive, push myself to start, etc. If someone gave me 50-100k a yr, I would be very content being a backup and working out, eating 5 star chef meals every day.

You guys act like you think most recruits are getting paid some decent $$. I doubt that seriously. All but a select few super high 4* and 5* players are going to share in the wealth.

Same idea translates to the porta potty aka the portal. The high school studs who can't amplify their game to the college level will be floating around in the shitty waters of the portal...

Texas is offering 100k a yr ... per player. That's just through some charitable "abc" fund. All those players can also go get local vehicles, etc deals in 2 seconds.

So yeah, driving a 50-70k dollar truck, and getting 100k a year salary is a lot of money.

If Texas is offering that, what do you think atm is paying to get 4-5 dlineman, from pa/ az/ tenn to go to college station,ranked in the top 50 overall.

That isn't going to last. The NCAA is going to add more rules to the system to ensure its not a complete pay for play system. Obviously there's going to be pay for play players at the top but there's no way an entire position on one team is going to be pay for play.

I mean you're demonstrably wrong. Just in the past week, there has been all kinds of publicity about this stuff happening. There was the thing with Texas OL all making a certain amount. Jimbo came out and basically said that everyone was getting paid. Kiffin did the same.


You're naive if you think that a huge number of these guys aren't getting paid. Are a huge number of them making millions? No. Only the top few guys are making that much. But if you're a 4 or 5*, you can 100% find a place to make some $.

It won’t be, this is all new but they’re not going to keep paying guys they think are busts, and those guys are going to leave ASAP. We’re in the early stages of a cycle where coaches who are pieces of shite, like Jimbo, can tell these kids anything with no track record to prove otherwise

I guarantee Jimbo is promising every 5* and high 4* $1,000,000+ per year in NIL money and you’re going to have a lot of kids pissed when he reneges on those promises because they can’t give that type of money to a backup. We’re about to see a cycle from certain schools of overpromising/underdelivering and it’s going to get ugly.

When kids go to your school for money and nothing else, it’s not sustainable. Alabama is sustainable because Saban is running a machine, 8&4U buying a bunch of kids every year is not
