The Transfer Portal is getting even more ridiculous. Kadyn Proctor transferred to Iowa, in January and enrolled in classes. Now he has reentered the Portal to return to Alabama. Athletes that enter the Portal should at least have to stay one year. Make one think that money was involved.
Iowa fans were pissed when he reneged on his move to Iowa to return to Alabama since the rumor was he received $100k in NIL money from the Iowa collective Iowa Swarm. The rumor got heated enough that the Swarm CEO had to make the media rounds to calm fans down and let them know that Proctor received no money from the collective that was donated by fans. The only money he received was from corporations that the Swarm hooked Proctor up with doing charity type events.
Like @skiumahlaw has said on here elsewhere is that NIL collectives can't publicize how much an athlete receives since it is a private contract between the collective and the athlete. Though through sources we all find out what the neighborhood is that athletes are receiving. I think the assumption with Proctor is that it is completely about the money.

It's either extortion or excellent negotiating skills, depending upon which table you're sitting at in the courtroom.

College sports as we have known it, are dying. It has finally started to admit, openly, what is has been for years: a minor league system for the big name sports, and only now the players are being paid legally.
When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.
This might be one of my favorite Tweets of all time. The chest pounding and bravado from husker fans as they prepared to "take over" the Big Ten was considerable.

Ok...I'm pissed and embarrassed. Two FG's instead of TD's inside the 5 yard line and a stupid call for a 2 pt conversion where you don't run the ball which ISU had problems stopping most of the game. Those things and the fact our QB has NO touch on his throws because he continues to throw off his back foot are the reasons Iowa deserved to lose the game on Saturday.
Ferentz sounded like a moron in post game saying that McNamara "still is getting into game shape". IF HE ISN'T IN "GAME SHAPE" WHY IN THE EFF IS HE EVEN PLAYING?!?!?!?!
The vaunted Iowa defense just got handled in the second half...effing embarrassing.
The blueprint on how to beat Iowa is on tape now.

The list of times I'll cheer for Alabama is pretty short.
When they play the Red Menace is, of course, at the top of that list.
Same. I can only think of one other instance.

Badger/Packer fans in the comments of the former Gopher player correcting him that it was actually 35-10 at the end of the 3rd quarter (when they do/did Jump Around). 🤣
Always happy to see Wisconsin get curb stomped, regardless of the sport. That said, credit to them for scheduling Alabama. If you're going to get your ass kicked in non-conference games, it might as well be by an elite program.

100% this. That's something I miss with the Gopher Hockey program, but, at least part of that is the insistence on a certain number of home games every year, making it harder to schedule the elite programs that we got at Mariucci in the past.
