Aside from the political divide that this post has taken a turn on. My concern is that without portal restraint and standard NIL guidelines, college athletics is entering a very dark tunnel. I think a majority of college coaches are concerned about it. I just watched South Carolina Dawn Staley at her post game press conference after getting whooped by UCLA. I was shocked at how her demeanor was, she spoke without making excuses or sarcasm. She was asked about Women's College Basketball and her future concerns. She said that something needs to be done with the NIL and portal.
I was surprised that a coach that has benefitted from the Portal would respond with that comment.
