These data show that a lot more players enter the portal than find a place to play. Unless these players are encouraged to enter, most of them are making a bad decision.

The service academies are at a severe disadvantage in the portal game. Completely unable to accept transfers in (cadets/midshipmen have to start at the start, can't come to the academy as a sophomore, junior or senior).

So all the academies can do with the portal is lose freshmen and sophomores (juniors and seniors are locked into service commitments).

They’re losing 10 kids between them. That may have been in line with their regular attrition rate given the meat grinder of being a cadet/midshipman and a varsity athlete.

Check a later post I made. Many are not going to continue to play the place they are leaving for multiple reasons. Frankly, they were not going to play elsewhere either. Just some wishing or hoping they can continue.

They players that have the ability to play at a college level, find homes somewhere if they want it. I would say 95% that don't find a home were / are not going to play anywhere. Most were taking up space on a roster.

 

[LittleVol]

I have as well. Enlisted don't do all "the work".

Well I'm not counting contractors.
Which that resource grows ever more frequently. Right? What about them. Doing the same work.

I have nothing against officers or the chain of command.

But the idea of giving NIL money to a bunch of less football talented guys BECAUSE they're going to serve their country is a bit much.

One has it's own purpose from the other.

 

[LittleVol]

And a degree from anywhere and the experience of playing college athletics should the be the case as well

And THAT will be the reality for most.
The NIL is for Bryce Youngs, Randy Moss's and Jimmy Clausen's of the world.

The one's that put butt's in college stadiums and makes people tune in on the TV.

As a West Point grad, I'm with you, brother.

Our nation's enlisted troops (army, navy, air force, marines, coast guard), they all seriously rock. Both the younger lads and lasses, and the NCOs who lead them.

Every officer I know worth his or her salt realizes what a privilege it is to command them.

So you're not wrong.

Having said that, one of my roommates and good friends as a cadet was an Army football player. We all thought our schedules were demanding, getting up before dawn to prepare our rooms for inspection, then breakfast formation, classes all day, mandatory lunch, mandatory dinner, mandatory "fun" (extracurricular activities) between 3:30 and dinner, then study hours from 7 to 11, mandatory lights out, and start it all again early the next morning. Including classes on Saturdays.

But we had nothing on the football players. Hardest-working cadets and midshipmen of all. Somehow they added to that schedule an hour or two of lifting each morning, and three hours of team practices each afternoon. My buddy would sneak studying in after taps each night just because he had no other place to fit it in.

So give the fellas wearing the academy colors on Saturdays a little nod of appreciation, will ya?

Go Vols!

You're right and I should have been less obtuse about it.

And there's some lazy enlisted as well.

My real point is that, Navy, Air Force, Army will never play for a big money event or get huge TV ratings every week.

They're two different universes- The NIL college football and what the academies represent.

By the way, this is the first time I read one of your posts all the way through .

I have mixed feelings on NIL but one of the things I like is that the deals are free agreements and a free market exchange. I wouldn't be surprised if the Academies aren't faced with an extremely difficult situation when some patriotic, pro military group or company wants to use the NIL of their athletes.

NIL doesn't necessarily have to reward guys based on talent. I hope those guys have an opportunity too.... and would probably support a company that did so.

I thought that also. I am not aware of any binding section of the pledge those men and women sign when entering the service academies would specifically prevent them from entering a transaction agreement, but others might know much more about it and I am not researching it.

 

[SpookyAction]

It is not out of the realm of possibililty each branch could form a NIL collective and pay the entire team for commercials. The players might wait until after they enter their service to receive the money. Not sure.
Lots of room to maneuver in the new landscape.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Numbers don't matter as much as the "Whys"

Why are they going out? Recruited over, personal/discipline issues, grades, coaching changes, scheme changes, etc
Why are they coming in? JUCO/Portal Gems, because recruiting class(es) weren't very good, to help out due to injuries, etc

 

[WiseOlVol]

How much do we have to pay for an elite RB?

Been ages.

Also a grad. Just to add, these guys really do this for the love the game and the love of competition. They ain’t going pro (maybe a 0.0001 exception).

 

[OldLofter]

most went to lower divisions.

pimo1: You are, of course, correct (brain phart on my part). But it begs the question of how are these high school kids getting such bad advice? Is it the old story of aim high and hope for the best.
Seems like a lot of these kids would be better off starting in a "realistic" division and then moving up if they have the talent. JMHO.

 

[OldLofter]

There is a lot on the table to study about the likes of Georgia and Alabama. They always recruit extremely well and not only do they recruit that well they get the absolute most out of what they do recruit. One thing else that also helps them out is the fact that both coaches have had the time and the classes to stock pile talent so that helps out a lot. There is just so many different advantage that they have because of they development that they have had over the years. One day very soon I truly believe that for us on the offense side of the ball we will become like that.

re "stock pile talent" I don't know how much talent can be stockpiled when the "stock" can go elsewhere. I think this is Saban's primary concern.

People assume that most of these kids in the portal are just angry, angsty, indecisive kids. The Reality is this. A good number of these kids especially from the bigger programs went in the portal because the staff let them know they weren't likely in the plans for the future. This isn't something new its always happened. This is actually the main point of the portal to help those kids find destinations. Kind of like a craigslist for discarded players. We all focus on the big names and the sour grapes. Trust me more kids get shown the way to the portal than leave for it. of their own accord.
