NIL/ Portal and this board

[BleedCrimsonandGray]

The portal killed this board.

How can you talk about the team in the offseason when its a constant turnstyle of players? Who has the time to keep up with player development when every year is a batch of new kids? Surely not the casual, or even rabid fan.

To that end: where are the media sources that keep up with this? Certainly not here. I trust BX as far as I can throw them. There used to be Spokane and Seattle Coug beat writers, but to my knowledge they both retired and were replaced by... who?

And to be honest... I could go and do some research on Zevi or the new kid, but honestly I just don't gaf when they likelihood of them being around next year is slim to none, especially if they are productive. These kids are making zero investment in the school or fanbase and at this point the feeling is reciprocal.

RESPECT MY DECISION

It's not just next year it's right after Spring practices that the next portal opens. Players get used having someone on the field with them and the next portal they jump out of there. Tough to build team cohesion and figure out your 1's and 2's during Spring then the portal opens and a bunch of them are gone. You almost have to wait until that Spring portal is closed to figure out what you got.

The rules need to allow for spring practice, or a 2nd spring practice period, after the portal closes, or for there to be no transfer portal period immediately after the spring practice period, etc.

Under current rules it's too easy for other guilty programs to send spies, spy on spring practice, then offer a NIL Deal, then have that player leave via transfer portal, then the team has to wait until fall practice camp to reset 1's, 2's, depth chart, which then sets back team, which then causes the team to lose early season games, etc.

If I was a College head coach, and other programs poached my team via transfer portal via NIL Deal offers, immediately after my spring practice period, after spying on my spring practice, I would immediately break the rules, have another spring practice period immediately after transfer portal closes to reset depth chart, and also explain why I was breaking the rules, and would CRUCIFY, SLAM THE NCAA, THE RULES, THE NIL, TRANSFER PORTAL, SPIES, POACHERS, ETC, PUBLICALLY IN THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION.

Then I would tell them that I will follow the rules, not hold a 2nd spring practice period, when guilty poaching programs, NCAA, NCAA NIL, TRANSFER PORTAL, etc, STOP spying on spring practices, then poaching on program, after spring practice period, causing players to leave after spring practice period, via Transfer Portal, via NIL, etc, causing program to have to reset depth chart in fall practice, instead of spring practice, causing losses in the early season.

I would tell them that if they don't want me to hold a 2nd spring practice period after the transfer portal closes, etc, then they had better eliminate the transfer portal period that happens immediately after spring practice period ends, so that guilty programs can't spy on spring practice, then offer NIL Deals based on that spying, so that those guilty programs then don't get those players via the transfer portal that spied on during spring practice that offered NIL Deals to.

And I would say to NCAA, what are you gona do about me holding a 2nd spring practice period, after Transfer Portal closes, you NCAA cheating punks?

Then I would would flip the finger, bird, at the NCAA on NATIONAL TV.

Sometimes you have to do stuff like that to put people, NCAA, poaching spies, programs, system, etc, IN THEIR PLACE, where they belong.

To bad nobody, No coach, No AD, No University President, No Board of Regents, No college, No fans, etc, has the BALLS to do those things, something like that, etc.

Maybe if more people had the BALLS to do something like that, there would be enough public outrage to put the NCAA, NIL, POACHING SPIES, PROGRAMS, STUPID RULES, ETC, IN THEIR EFFING PLACE.

What killed this board is a lack of a moderator to keep all the political crap off of it.

A lot of teams are cancelling the spring game to make tampering by other teams more difficult.

Just delays the inevitable. It's the wild wild west now, and there's no sheriff in town.

I just love how there's been two years of outright tampering and the NCAA has simply shrugged.

Anytime you guys want to start some Coug-related threads I'll be there to converse. And if certain posters stop feeding the main troll it would help. I guess it's about time for me to start another "I told you so" thread now that March is almost over and we have no media deal, no 8th member, and a coaching staff of drunks. Probably should install breathalyzers in the locker room before games to test all the probably drunk Jackrabbits (players and coaches).
