It’s not a surprise to me. The amount of money being promised now far exceeds what was available just a couple years ago. And with coaching turnover it was bound to intensifyI agree we were gonna see some leave but not this amount. We've had some come to our program and stay for a few years like Harrison and Simmons. I will say that the Athletic Department owes the fan base some amswers even if they're not the ones responsible.
Just saying it’s not a surprise when it was made clear Huff wasn’t being brought back and the team’s roster had been completely turned over at the beginning of the season. These kids are going to take a chance (again) someone is going to pay you more money (NIL) having contributed to a championship team.
Which do you think will happen first?If there is such a mass exodus, that we can’t play the game, it’s almost as bad that we haven’t, as fans, heard a peep from the administration. Not even a single email to all of the folks who paid for hotels, flights and tickets.
What do you not understand about the portal and NIL opportunities for kids who won a mid major conference championship?B. A truthful, transparent explanation for why so many of our players entered the portal?
Got to assume Turner getting a bigger check in Minnesota than at Marshall.What do you not understand about the portal and NIL opportunities for kids who won a mid major conference championship?
Turner started "mailing it in" and pretending injury halfway through the season. Good riddance.Got to assume Turner getting a bigger check in Minnesota than at Marshall.
You think he was on a pitch count like Ali?Turner started "mailing it in" and pretending injury halfway through the season. Good riddance.
This place is batshit crazyYou think he was on a pitch count like Ali?
No. I think he pulled himself out of games, protecting himself for his inevitable transfer. It was telling to watch him "limp" out of multiple games and not a single training staff member attended to him the last few games.You think he was on a pitch count like Ali?
Other than Mike Green, I hope all the portal guys fail. Life lesson.We had 7-8 guys on our team that are legit portal, get some money, guys. The rest will either get peanuts for a lateral move or get nothing - or find themselves homeless with no team.
Never cross the Herd!Other than Mike Green, I hope all the portal guys fail. Life lesson.
A “batch” of kids. I like that.We're going to get a fresh batch in to replace these guys.
When they bail and leave their teammates DOA, that's BS. They can have their day after a bowl. But hell, it's all about me and getting mine. Karma coming big time"Other than Mike Green, I hope all the portal guys fail. Life lesson."
What happened to wishing kids/young adults the best?
We're going to get a fresh batch in to replace these guys.
