On transfer portal & NIL, I'm reminded of a Churchill quote

"An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last."
At some point, these programs who are appeasing the whims of immature teenagers and greedy parents will come back to bite them (Cough, UGA, Cough).
These kids are losing any incentive to care about coaches' or University rules. They can just go to the next highest bidder and be a cancer on their team.
I predict you'll see some Antonio Brown style mid-game meltdowns in college football.
Team culture still matters. Developing young men still matters.

I thought it would be, "We shall defend our program, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the field, we shall fight in the locker room, we shall fight in the stands and in the concession area, we shall fight in the portal; we shall never surrender.

Georgia has a pool of 5 star talented players, but they lack a respectable culture. They kind of remind me of the democrat party. Handing out tax-payer money in order to gain votes. Kirby flying in on a helicopter on the 50 yard line to pull in recruits. Kirby will never be half the man Dabo is. He doesn’t want to develop young men. He wants to win at all costs even if that consists of doing it the cheap way. Colleges abusing the transfer portal and recruiting with NIL money is the definition of cheap. A free education is enough to make a difference in this world. I believe if they win Monday, until they fix this cheap way of doing things, the win isn’t legitimate. They’re winning now in a time it’s easier for them to do so. Dabo had success before all of this crap, and his morals and values will keep him at the top.
