Unregulated NIL money/deals/collectives are ruining college sports. Most of the newsworthy portal transfer moves are NIL driven.
Even though only about half the kids in the portal find a new school, most of the kids find a better situation for themselves, whether it's a player moving to a lower division or another program within the level getting more playing time, or a player moving up to a level or program because they developed in college.
While it was a little painful to watch Cam Spencer win a title with Uconvict, I mean UConn, while RU struggled, the transfer portal helped him have a great career-even if it was across 3 different schools. (Just as some people have great business careers working for different companies)
College athletes only have 5 years to play 4 (or with Covid 6 to play 5), the portal allows them to make the most out of that quick, once in a lifetime window.
