    Not that they are here to play school, but how does transferring mid quarter/semester work? Does a guy from zona just drop classes, come to UW, work out/practice, and not have to start class until summer or fall quarters?

    It's all so fucked, imagine you're Fifita, you're a god on campus everyone loves you, Zona sorority strange throwing themselves your way, coach and system you believe in, primed for a season that will make you a Legend for all-time.

    And now because your coach was poached your foundation is completely rocked and uncertain.

    The new addition of players to the offseason musical chairs act isn't good for the sport in any capacity. Somebody is going to get caught holding the bag, fan engagement will plummet outside of like 20 schools.
    I completely agree with this. Not enjoying any of the "UW buying players from Arizona" stuff that's going on, but I understand that's how it works right now and you gotta do it to survive. Some actual, binding rules need to get established very soon on this. You can't have 24/7/365 free agency - this is all unsustainable. We're basically going to be cheering for the Arizona Wildcats in UW jerseys by the time this process is all said and done. I'm not going to remain a mega fan in the future if something doesn't change with the structure of the portal.
    There isn’t 24/7/365 free agency. UW and UofA players can portal because their coaches left.

    How is that not fair.
    It's not about fair, it's about the sport morphing into a shitty product with an absurd attrition rate.
    already halfway there

    Sounds like Zona is hiring Nansen and the players are all tweeting that they are staying with him.

    If true, yet another kick in the nuts

    Not good if Nansen is hired. Will need a QB and a whole new OL. Yikes

    We need everything except kicker basically. We are fucked next year. The pillaging was over before it ever began.

    Even if we get someone at this point it's likely a mercenary type we over paid for and we will be repeating it all over again next year. This really is the death penalty.

    That would be kinda odd considering their entire offensive staff is following Fisch.

    For now college football as we? once knew it is dead. I guess this will turn into which programs can pay enough to stay in the top 12 with another 10 vying for a glimpse every 3 or 5 years. What's the point of being a fan of a team that never cracks the top 12? Do people really want to look forward to the Cheez It’s bowl?
    That seems better than the facade of the past 20 years to be honest. Although it plays right into Oregon’s pocketbook.

    TMac, Fifita, Manu and Burnett are all teammates from Servite HS. They made a huge deal about all signing with Zona. Maybe they don’t want to split and not finish together?

    Ah, I knew about Fifita and TMac, didn't know about the other two. Manu is a beast.

    They’d all be welcome at UW.
    I was surprised Coleman did an about face. Based on their public statements on social media yesterday, I'd be equally shocked. I hope I'm wrong again.

    Wait til after spring ball and they get a chance to see Nansen in action. They may not portal here, but they will portal.

    Bottom line is NIL. No way they are choosing Nansen over a fat payday. I'd imagine montlake futures is well stocked after this last season. Unless of course they let it all rip for the title run.
    If it's about a pay day sc probably would beat us on money if they truly hit the portal. Also if it is Nansen there is a chance one or some of the staff returns to zona with a raise or promotion. The idea all their best players were coming here always seemed very far fetched.

    First things first, we need a freaking quarterback. And one that can run unless we can get our offensive line back somehow.

    That look when you find out your new HC is a candidate for the HC job at your former school.

    They somehow think they’ll bring Nansen back as DC to keep the roster together, despite losing him a week ago to be co-DC at Texas.

    I don’t know how they would plan to pay him more money in their financial situation, but maybe the boosters and players compromised somehow.

    Wont someone think of the poor San Jose State Spartan fans?

    It's interesting how much of a ripple effect one coach retiring has on the sport
