Back up the truck
If Bandes, Valdez, and Sagapoulo are all gone after 2024, this guy could likely start in 2025 at 0 / 1 tech:

He will end up at Oregon, Mississippi, Tennessee, USC, Texas, Texas AM or Ohio State. Those schools seem to have the deepest portal pockets. UW will pull in a couple Big Sky or MW tackles to pair with the two Parkers, Kahn, Butler and Davis. Three of those dudes can't stay healthy so they may need three or four bodies to get through a full season.

I think D. Lynch has another season.
But how about we pass around the hat here to bring Oatis?

The sport is full retard now. People really want us to stop caring. All of this bullshit about illegally paying players in the past being shady and unknowable, it's fuckin' legal now and more shady and unknowable than ever. Nobody knows shit, except that big money schools are spending big money and if you ain't one of them - buckle the fuck up. But it's all heresay, and now there are essentially no scholarship limits as well? Before scholarship limits, Alabama used to take guys just to Auburn wouldn't get them, that will continue - and not in our favor.
If fucking Oregon buys themselves a National Title I'll be so grossed out that I'm not sure what I will do with my fandom. Shit needs to change, and even if it does it won't happen fast enough to stop this bullshit.

Is this satire?

I have a friend who is an Oregon fan and he was gloating about their win while UW lost big. I noted that the majority of Oregon's starters came in via NIL, including Dillon Gabriel (3rd team) and Jabbar Muhammad (that they bought from UW). He didn't really have an answer to counter that other than "well you need a billionaire booster too". I don't think it's sour grapes to say that the NCAA shouldn't allow players to go for a bag multiple times unless they go down a level and one of the players Oregon bought was ejected for spitting in the face of an Ohio State player…he's been ejected 3 times. Is that very collegial?
What sucks is that I always liked college football because nearly all players committed to a school and spent 4 or 5 years grinding to build something. Now the rules are so screwed up that a team like Oregon is even worse than the NFL in terms of having mercenaries. Is that what CFB wants?
And if that's what CFB wants, does UW have the appetite to fully go that route? This isn't just bringing in someone like Penix, who had a prior relationship with DeBoer at Indiana, to compete at QB with Dylan Morris. This is new NIL stuff is going to multi-millionaires and billionaires to buy players with the highest bid. I don't begrudge very wealthy people but it's not about just donating money to rebuild a stadium, it's literally buying players.

- Your best player in your lifetime was a mercenary
- Holden is a head case but that was his first ejection ever, I’m pretty sure. What other two Oregon games did he get ejected from? Or did you see this article and have serious reading comprehension issues #academis

You're friend is spot on. You will need an elite level qb probably to compete with teams that will buy the best roster every year because we will never do that.
I don't fault the kids for taking the money at all and jumping from program to program, but it will flip the sport upside down to an extent.

I came into this season with no care. I have even less now, since Ive apparently become a fair weather fan. I agonized over every game during the Gilby-Ty years but can't seem to find any fucks to give now.
"I never thought I could feel this way and I've got to say that I just don't get it. Something, something...the feeling is gone and I just can't get it back."
NIL and the portal seem to have killed my love for football. I've been watching playoff baseball games I don't care about while college football is on, which is a first for me. I surfed other channels during the UW game Saturday and left to play golf while the game was still in doubt.

You need to be selective regardless. Saban said it best, "If you don't pay the right guys, you'll be shit outta luck."
