@SonsofUCF@EricLopezELO That is what the portal and nil has done to the sport. 70% of the team is nameless mercenaries to me and I’m no longer invested in their development. I’ll cheer for the name on the front of the jersey come the fall.
@FearThePegasus I think the simple fix is to remove the 200 level from having access to it, and then significantly oversell the area with no assigned seats in the 100 level.
@Ryan_DiPentima@UCFSportsInfo The coach is because he was Thiams sponsor on his green card. He held all the leverage. Plus, can’t fault the kid for taking life changing money.
@EricLopezELO@SonsofUCF Including the conference tournament, we have 5 guaranteed games left.
Win 1, and we deserve to be on the bubble.
Win 2, and we’re a lock.
Focus on winning 2+ and then who cares what anyone says.
@Mike1625@TerryMohajirAD I do really miss the war on I4, but with the Big 12 playing 9 conference games plus requiring a P4 team, we just can’t do a home and home with any G5 since we need 7 home games. Math just doesn’t work. But we 100% need to play in every other sport every year.
Portal open! One piece of advice I would give a player having been on all sides of the portal process: don’t mess up your life’s money for a one-time bag.
Yeah, school “X” offered you 50k more than school “Y” did. But, now you transferred to a place that didn’t have your program; you lost credits. You played at 3 places and have no network and no one that has a vested interest in your success after graduating.
Even more so, with all these redshirts. If you have ONE year left to graduate and TWO years left to play: finish your degree. You can always go somewhere your last year and chase the bag or go down a level and play.
Just make sure “life changing money” IS life changing and not just briefly lifestyle changing. Factors like quality of life and cost of living matter.
One last thing on it: if you leveraging the portal to get more $ at your current school and that does NOT work, it’s even less likely the portal is going to be beneficial. Be careful!

@azredhead@JAHattaway@BYUFlorida Re-read my comment. I’m not a fan of it. I’m good with offensive content, but make it clever and original. Not the best example out there but “Eat S&it Pitt” is the first that comes to mind. At least it’s funny and not lazy.
