Hard to believe only 2 SC QBs signing Wednesday (Peter Zamora/Westside and Ryan Burger MB)
Portal killing HS QBs.
This needs more national coverage

The portal benefits the blue bloods more than the kids they said it was intended to benefit.
D2 schools benefit as well. They get players that would normally sign at higher levels falling to them.

Coaches at group of 5 schools have to love the portal. They can tell kids "come here and we promise you have a spot." Power 5 coaches have to keep their options open with the number of transfers each season. Basically have to re-recruit your own roster each season.
With the NIL money, who can blame kids? If I can make more money at school B, why wouldn't I leave school A? Coaches do it all the time.

This is going to be for the highest bidder.

The portal and NIL are forever changing the way college sports operate.
Notice I didn't say for better or worse. Just "changing."
I have so many mixed feelings about this changing landscape. First, college student-athletes have been robbed for decades. They get food, housing, books and school.... while many of these institutions make millions and millions off of their efforts and success on the field and court. Now, they have the opportunity to cash in (pun intended) on their popularity and accomplishments. Fantastic.
But... one out of a thousand of these kids will ever make it to the pros. And, once they are there, one out of thousand will last for more than a year. That means these kids better make as much money as they can while they are in college, because for almost 99% of them, the "money train" ends before they turn 24 years old. Hope the same people in their ears in high school are teaching them how to save, budget and invest. Hope these same people ain't still mooching off their prodigy's ability.
Ain't a lot of great jobs for washed-up, has-been, 24 year old college drop-out athletes, with no college degree to use for a career path.
Truth.
