The game is so broken.

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.
Stadiums w NFL like amenities? There are stadiums in the SEC and Big 10 that are **itholesIf 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 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
Jacob is a nice add, good developmental piece.
My buddy and I were talking this out the other day and he pretty much said, "it's all about gambling". Just another nail in this nation's coffin!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.
I'll take how it used to be.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.

I read that the Henderson twins are coming back as well. Love D. Henderson at free safety. Not nearly as big of a fan of J. Henderson at corner, but let’s hope our new staff can coach them up. Glad they are back.
Yeah. Hunter will forsake multi-year relationships, familial obligations, comfort level, and immediate playing time as an every down full time starter to "chase a bag."Lmao. You are so stupid. Who will he know in the NFL? He’s a late round NFL pick dummy. He’s looking for a bag this year…his stock is not going to improve. You are literally always wrong on all your takes…driving time? Lmao.
Nobody has more money than Texas. Nobody. Lee Hunter will play for the team that gives him the bigger NIL deal. He should have left last year TBH. If Texas really wants him then he is going there.
@LoboCane was right. He was bag 💼 chasing. these Texas programs are loaded w Oil money, even non flagships like Texas Tech.Wow Lee Hunter to Texas Tech
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$Wow Lee Hunter to Texas Tech
HE used to do that as much as he couldHopefully Frost can keep our Hometown Heroes HOME!!!
It's all a gamble unlike before NIL. Kinda good, kinda bad.My buddy and I were talking this out the other day and he pretty much said, "it's all about gambling". Just another nail in this nation's coffin!
Texas Tech is the program that got Lee to go to the portal…he planned on staying at UCF. TT has a new billionaire booster, this won’t be the last whale they get.@LoboCane was right. He was bag 💼 chasing. these Texas programs are loaded w Oil money, even non flagships like Texas Tech.
Stop embarrassing yourself. So don’t post anymore?Yeah. Hunter will forsake multi-year relationships, familial obligations, comfort level, and immediate playing time as an every down full time starter to "chase a bag."
Hate to be the fly in your ointment, but both programs produce a high number of draft picks.

Dudes target school colors are all Black and Gold/yellow - weird.
Crazy thing is this guy would have been a great fit in our previous offense.....basically he has been playing the Wild Knight position for 2 years...has more rushing attempts (38) than passing attempts (35) this year, but played in every game.
Lol.Texas Tech is the program that got Lee to go to the portal…he planned on staying at UCF. TT has a new billionaire booster, this won’t be the last whale they get.
Revisionist post much? You said what Texas wants Texas gets.Texas Tech is the program that got Lee to go to the portal…he planned on staying at UCF. TT has a new billionaire booster, this won’t be the last whale they get.
Look dummy…I told you that he was looking for the bigger payday no matter who the team is. If Texas wanted him, they would outbid Texas Tech.Revisionist post much? You said what Texas wants Texas gets.

good catch!Dudes target school colors are all Black and Gold/yellow - weird.
so what happens when the supporters of other schools say they don't want to "grow the wealth of their rival's benefactors."
