I don't have an issue with the idea of a portal. I think you can get one opportunity to transfer, but other than that you're stuck. I am a firm believer in getting a second opportunity, and a portal allows that. Plenty of ways to make a wrong decision at 17-18 years old, and it should not direct your entire future. I do not like the idea of tampering, do not like the idea of NIL, and I do not like the continuation of being able to transfer. A player should not be punished for something an administration did or another player did (cheat or take money when it was illegal) and their playing career or postseason ability be in jeopardy. Sanders is exactly what is right about the portal, but unfortunately about 5% of the portal story. To'oto'to is a part of that 5% as well. Luke Ford is a major fail, moved due to sick family member and gets denied. Tate Martel hires a high priced attorney and gets approved, and then transfers another time. Justin Fields uses race and lawyer, gets approved. Jordan Addison and Caleb Williams is mainly what is happening now and is a drag on the sport as a whole.

[QUOTE="BamaFan334, post: 1444104, member: 19550"] I don't have an issue with the idea of a portal. I think you can get one opportunity to transfer, but other than that you're stuck. I am a firm believer in getting a second opportunity, and a portal allows that. Plenty of ways to make a wrong decision at 17-18 years old, and it should not direct your entire future. I do not like the idea of tampering, do not like the idea of NIL, and I do not like the continuation of being able to transfer. A player should not be punished for something an administration did or another player did (cheat or take money when it was illegal) and their playing career or postseason ability be in jeopardy. Sanders is exactly what is right about the portal, but unfortunately about 5% of the portal story. To'oto'to is a part of that 5% as well. Luke Ford is a major fail, moved due to sick family member and gets denied. Tate Martel hires a high priced attorney and gets approved, and then transfers another time. Justin Fields uses race and lawyer, gets approved. Jordan Addison and Caleb Williams is mainly what is happening now and is a drag on the sport as a whole. [/QUOTE]
