Virtually all starters are transfers from other colleges. Between the portal and the NIL money many get, they are pros—not student athletes!
The Notre Dame QB played for 3 years at DUKE. It’s ridiculous.
It’s worse than Pros because at least in the NFL players are under contract for multiple years, in college there is no commitment beyond this season.
You are exactly right. Portal is the end of it. Zero school/team spirit and loyalty. Like the country...no character and phony. Imagine Red Grange transferring from Illinois to Purdue or Tom Brady from Michigan to Ohio State in their junior years? Sucks.
