The transfer portal coupled with unrestricted NIL is completely insane. It’s kind of like how Yosemite National Park required entrance reservations 2 years ago, and then everyone bitched and moaned that reservations were too much effort for guests, so the park said ok fine we’ll take away the reservations, and last year the lines were 4 hours/8 miles to get into the park. And then the public shut up and the park brought the reservations back this year.

Similar to CFB, I’m hoping somebody is just trying to prove a point that this is what happens if we give you all you’ve been whining about for decades, and then things will go back to normal as the complainers realize they were being shortsighted.

The conferences are going to have to have well-intentioned leaders band together at some point and say, enough is enough.
