I do think it sucks that these transfers are quitting on the team prior to the bowl game.
Transfers and de-commits
- Thread starter Aduhbolu15
- Start date
I read that list of transfers and Isheem is the only one likely to move to a blue blood, right? The rest are all guys that were in a backup role that probably want a bigger role. So can someone help me understand why people are so quick to attribute this to NIL?
Guys like Edwards, Suttle, Scates, Horne, Anderson etc. are not being poached away by NIL money. Let's get real here people.

NIL has nothing to do with these transfers
The NCAA does not have any right to look at a student athletes tax returns. Just like your employer has no right to look at yours.
Anderson and Horne would have been competing for starting jobs next year. Anderson played this year but mainly as a WR blocker. Horne filled in for Rose when he got hurt.
King was a starter this year until he got hurt against OU
Anderson wasn't going to start. King who knows. Horne and Young yes
How has this been working at the other schools? Have the kids primarily hit the transfer portal before or after the coaching change was announced?
With Young, King, and Amos all leaving, I wonder if there was friction with Broomfield as their position coach?
I don't know that it'll "even out", it's not even now. I just think there are going to be a lot more transfers every year in and out of every program.
I don't think boosters paying players through NIL to go to a school but not take a scholarship spot will be sustainable in the long run. Most players still want to see the field, especially if they have NFL aspirations. I don't see most players taking NIL money to be the 90th spot on a roster if they can get a scholarship and play somewhere else. I also don't see boosters giving $20k+ to players who never see the field. They'd rather give more $$ to get the star players than worry about getting a guy to be the 4th string middle linebacker. I could be wrong though.
Horne as a LB also leaving at the same time, as well as a DL too. Could be something else
When they leave its because they're being paid. When HS kids commit somewhere else, they're being paid. Either want to come here and they're a stand up individual who helps the elderly cross the street ten times a day and want to live in that culture.
That's a lot of speculation. Let me know when it happens regularly and I'll worry about it then.
