ode I think there is some point to be made about ND and *only getting 13 guys from the portal and look at there year. Maybe there is some room for programs like ND to be a regular factor by doing what they do. Coach has total control of the team vs. dealing with a bunch of transfers and NIL prima donna's
Every head coach would prefer to build their own from within but in today's reality it ain't happening. I've said this before we should be applauding Army and Navy this year along with Air Force for their great results this year without one portal guy or using NIL.
Personally, it's about time for players to get theirs as universities have been parlaying their skills for large amounts of money. It's just that after the Supreme Court riled in their ability to use NIL the NCAA should have had a structure in place to deal with the transfer portal and the revolving door it has become. Players now play sign up for a team and there for 6 months and garner large amounts of NIL $$$$.
Wisconsin put their foot down and are challenging the portal, NIL, binding contract, paid NIL money and won't let Xavier Lucas transfer to Miami. Wisconsin has said in their actions this has gone far enough. I think they will allow him to enter the portal eventually but so far they are standing up against the status quo. It has not hurt Wisconsin's status to sign other portal players.
