It would grow if more college coaches decide it is easier and more reliable to take kids who have proven they can play at the college level instead of taking a risk on a project.

Here's a good article on the transfer portal and how it has caused fewer opportunities for high school kids. Last year 400 fewer high school scholarships were offered to high school kids and they think the number will grow...

MNVCGUY was remembering the Texas post as well ... beat me to the punch.

I don't know ... seems like the buying has begun .... Gophergrandpa posted this earlier. The Texas head coach said that OL was their weak link. So boosters (alias non-profit) are trying to fix that by offering each scholarship OL $50,000 Texas offensive linemen offered $50,000...

I am sorry but I can't remember the college ... it was out west ... a used car dealership set up a deal for something like $80,000 but it was to be spread out evenly to everyone on the football team. Those are the kind of deals I like. In a situation like this ... make playing until the...

For good players but not great … are they staying in college for extra years because they want to get that additional free education … have a better opportunity to make more money in college from NIL endorsements. Not much chance of ever making the pros …. Do you think this played a factor in...

I still think they ought give the backup QBs some meaningful snaps in a game situation. Having a backup that has some game experience is a good thing. Practice is not the same as a real game situation.

I didn't get to watch the start of the game but found out later about the safety getting tossed after the first play. That may have been the play of the game. From what I hear about him is that he is kind of the glue that holds that defense together ... the QB of the defense. So I think...

Agreed ... my wife who was on her phone most of the game said it sounded like they were playing home announcers instead of neutral. I agree ... we talked about them showing all the Wisconsin fans as well.

Actually our TE are glorified OTs

We never use our tight ends ... hope he grows and develops into a 1st OT.

Couldn't find the game but here is a video that is 8:25 of highlights to the Northwestern game

Someone told me that you can do a youtube search and get the whole game on youtube. Haven't tried that but seems like you can find everything you want and lots of stuff you don't want on youtube!

It is just a lot easier to hit on a transfer you like than a high school kid.

From what I have been reading from various sites ... the transfer portal has a lot to do with some of the parity we are seeing in this college football season.

Maybe not exact words but pretty much what he said. Kept using the phrase "Paranoid about losing." Also said that defense wasn't on the field that much and they didn't get that many reps in the game as they usually do. I thought he said defense was on the field for 40 plays.

I realize that but it was not just the CU game. It is every game that we are way ahead or way behind. I am glad the Gophers have been doing well. I just think you have to protect your starters and give the back-ups a chance to play. That should be part of the motivation of working hard in...

Was driving in the car and listening to KFAN yesterday. Fleck was doing a show with a live audience. I didn't hear the whole conversation but the question was asked about subbing or lack of subbing. I didn't agree with his answer and don't agree with his practice of playing starters very late...

Oregon with Nike will become the new # 1. in a short time. I side with those that think this will ruin college sports. There is no way anyone or organization will be able to monitor or regulate any of this.

It just seems we are in the national news on a daily basis and not for good reasons ... and it has been for an extended period. Just thought it made a tough job a little tougher.
