To paraphrase Hardy, "Well, here's another nice kettle of fish NIL has pickled us in!” Boy do I not like what NIL and Transfer Portal have done to College Athletics.
Don't think College athletics should become the minor leagues for the pros. So since I am rapidly becoming older than dirt I think I like it the way it was before NIL and the present day portal. I am also not sure it is what's best for young players, of whom 90% will never see the pros.If you want amateur college football like it was, coaches salaries are capped at well below $1 million, stadiums don't have NFL like amenities, no suites, no indoor practice facilities, only big games are nationally broadcast. The entire process has to be amateur, not just the athlete actually playing it. However, fans want professional sports level coaching staffs, facilities, stadiums, broadcasting, and the best of the best players.
Eventually there will be a split, kind of like FBS and FCS. Do you want to be a program that is professionally ran, or do you want to be closer to college football like it used to be?
The o-line makes or breaks you along with a 1/2 way good defense!the worry is the status of the OLine but I do think Frost can get by with less talent on offensive skill positions ‘AAC level’ and just show that he runs a QB and WR friendly offensive scheme then hopefully the next recruiting cycle the talent level jumps.
UCF needs a transfer QB bc the depth chart is too thin but Rizk being his guy is the better scenario for the locker room.

The focus including for UCF is on premium seats in expansions, they want higher ticket prices for premium guests as oppose to local community/kids. Everything is focused on generating the most revenue.Stadiums w NFL like amenities? There are stadiums in the SEC and Big 10 that are **itholes
