This is all of college sports now. You want guys to be good because you want to win, but then they leave. See it in men’s and women’s basketball, probably will be seeing it in hockey. It sucks. Makes it hard to be a fan, when everything good about your program will be stolen away for money your program will never see. It’s absurd.
Loeffler did a decent job keeping dudes. Maybe that will continue with George.

I'd love to see some sort of buyout process to balance things a bit.

WR, DB. It's a long list.

That would require contracts and recognizing players as employees. Transfer fees absolutely need to happen though.

WRs seem relatively easy to get.

Kleather makes it 38-14 with a 42 yard field goal.

Oklahoma State has apparently poached North Texas' head coach... never mind the fact that North Texas has a chance to be in the College Football playoffs.

BG added a field goal. 38-14.

Kleather will be kicking at a P4 school next year, I’d imagine. He’s been stellar.

Didn’t get to watch. I know it’s just Umass but glad we end the season with a win for once.

I think if they want paid they should also be able to be fired for poor performance

I mean that’s kind of what’s happening with the portal as much as the other thing. Players are being told they don’t have a spot anymore so they are all but forced to enter the portal.
