Crap....here we go... hopefully not too many.

Anyone know how many the other MVFC schools have had enter?  I'm sure everyone is facing this issue.

It be nice if Tom Miller of the GF Herald would do a Portal Page (like hockey) even if it was just in/out of the MVFC.

I know other schools will lose guys too, we are not alone. Still sucks though. A good OL guy is probably the worst to lose, but a good OL probably has the most opportunities in the portal as every school is always looking for another good OL player.

Yup. Sam Hagen is in the portal???? Did not see that coming

 

Any insights into how this goes down? A coach sits across from a player they have spent two years supporting and developing in their academic and athletic life. Kid says everything is fine one day and the next the coach sees them in the portal? 

So the kid was lying and plotting the whole time for a bag of silver. One injury, or they don't meet expectations, and that new school, which sees them as a piece of meat, will throw them on the scrap heap and have a new bag for the next one on the list.

Integrity, honesty, friendships, gone for a bag of silver that will be gone in a year.

And a coach will sit down in a kids living room, look him and his parents in the eyes, and tell him he has no interest in taking any other jobs... then accept a new job the next day. Integrity, honesty, blah blah blah....

... and the student-athlete still has his/her scholarship and a spot with the college and the program to which he or she committed, correct?

Speaking of commitment, how long before NLIs are declared null and void, and coaches can start prep for a season or a contest with a weekly Monday morning head count?

Not a whole bag ... just 30 pieces.

NIL will be what kills the golden goose that was college athletics. 

[Kab]

These kids make more than a CFL player does or NBA d league player 

they take a pay cut after graduation

i wonder how much of this money is left after graduation or is in gold around the necks of some of these players

same as the oil boom , everyone had all the toys in the world, no savings and nothing to show except bills when the bust came again 

‘tell me where I’m wrong

Do you think Hagen is getting NIL offers and goes FBS? I know he’s been solid but just wondering.

To me I feel it has to do more with Freund and Pawlek leaving. More with Pawlek since it was 2 OL that left. And maybe the new OL coach isnt the guy either. Yeah maybe they will get some money somewhere but I can't see it going over 25k. We will get more information when they sign with another team. Lets just hope Hagen doesn't go south a few miles.

All the more reason they should be committing to the school and not a specific coach.

More and more, people follow leaders, rather than schools, companies, brands, etc.   And it will continue to trend that way.

Would be surprised to be wrong, but 6'6" OL who has started a season plus, experience at guard and tackle with two years of eligibility left....he'll end up FBS and that almost always is coming with some extra money.

Well, kids that blow their NIL money will get a education in life.   Maybe it will teach them to save the money if they get a second chance at more.   Most times those lessons are better than what you learn in the classroom.

I listened to a McFeely/Izzo podcast where, after the obligatory AC fawning, they addressed this issue. By their count, UND has had the third-lowest number of players entering the portal among MVFC teams since season's end at 10. The AC has had fewer at 6. SDSU at 4. Murray State has had 42 portal entries. Youngstown 26, Indiana State 20,  USD 15, SIU and MoState 13, and N. Iowa 12.

Some other schools are currently still in spring ball.  One can assume there will be movement when that wraps up.
