Offseason/portal

This is the unfortunate state of college athletics these days. Can’t build anything because the second you start having any sort of success the vultures start to circle and the devils start whispering in ears.
I don’t know about vultures, but the current system, or should I say the current chaos, incentivizes college players to perform well and then go elsewhere to make a lot of money. Would any of us turn down the opportunity to make hundreds of thousands of dollars playing a game we enjoy?
 
Ain’t no way our players are making hundreds of thousands of dollars. Maybe 3 to 5000 a month.

You’re going to get outbid in America. I think all second tier teams like us have to look at international options. $50,000 to an international player means a lot more to themthan a bunch of these spoiled American players.
 
Need someone that can build a program. Hoyt's not going to be able to do that, it seems. Mass transfers each year without having coaching changes. Is it the new 'coach' with a DV in his past? Is it too much religion? Is it player favouritism? Something else? It's definitely not just money.

They act all year like it's a big fun party. There may be some other things but I still think money is at the forefront.

Why would so many players also come if it was so bad?

They're just using it for a spring board
 
There is something going on. Not sure all these defections are NIL related. We have enough money to keep a couple of these players. High school recruiting has been pretty weak. The fall signees look to be a pretty average lot.

This thing with Todd Troxel is a bit concerning. Why is he here and did the Athletic Department do any due diligence on him?
 
Sounds like the following happened

Wooten and Akot are looking for a bigger NIL

Girardi will leave because of Wooten (close friends)

Most others looking for playing time.

Whiting, not sure.

Big rift happened during the season because of roles not being promised and maybe a bad apple but unsure on the last part.
