I’m curious about this board’s thoughts regarding this question: Regarding G5, are the NIL and Transfer Portal worries over blown? According to Jimbo Fisher, they only have one player out of this year’s number one recruiting class that is receiving NIL. Alabama had 18 football players enter the transfer portal. I don’t know how many are receiving NIL.
Seems like every school is experiencing issues, not just the Group of 5. I know Troy took a hit in basketball, so that’s an issue, but how many moved on to a Power 5 school?

I have no idea of what is going on. I can speculate that soon the student will be removed from student athlete.

Yes, even schools like Bama and UGA have some NIL problems but other schools like Arkansas and Tennessee are now pretty competitive. Arkansas currently has the #2 ranked Basketball recruiting class in the nation because of NIL and Tennessee just landed a 5-star QB out of CA (they are paying $8m and it’s not even a rumor, it’s official) and they recently landed a highly ranked 5-star Basketball commit ($2m NIL deal). Miami, USC, Oregon, Texas, and TAMU are even more aggressive… while Auburn, LSU, Florida, Ole Miss, Fla St, etc won’t be able to compete for top P5 5-star transfers so they will sign other players, including top G5 players…

I don’t know if any of you guys did this when you were young. When u were a little kid and you went to a self serve soda fountain you mixed all the kinds together. Sometimes even mixing the fruit juice with the sodas. Very seldom did it taste very good (some can be mixed and tastes fine) but we called it a “suicide”. Probably indicating that when you turn folks loose and do what ever you want the outcome is generally not a very good product. It winds up being like when my mom would taste my “suicide” and her upturned mouth and nose and the eeegh sound when tasting it. I was so proud of what my unlimited (stupid self) could come up with and I even thought it’s sucked. Jason Whitlock has a great show on last Friday 20th about Jimbo and Satan’s battle (oops Saban) The ruination of that which we have loved in college is likely going to go to its logical Thelma and Louise outcome after going off that cliff. Nope it is not overblown. Judge Kavanaugh opinion is clear there is no way to keep people from making money. Scholarships and transfers need to be limited.

Honestly let us enjoy this coming year. Unless serious changes are made things will deteriorate very quickly with how they are now. I guess the question might be not if it is overblown but how soon will football reach where basketball is now and next year???
