I personally view the portal as a blight on college football. I've done the "grass is greener" elsewhere thing in the past with my employment with mixed results. I wonder how many of these guys will regret entering the portal and playing for a lesser team (and they're all lesser teams), or a team with a different culture. Granted, some may not have had a choice and were forced out. I think it also lessens the fan experience as we're now reduced to rooting for "rent-a-players" who rotate out every year and don't have any real allegiance to UT. From a team chemistry / culture perspective, how much turnover can the team sustain before it becomes a cancer that you can't control? If the guy I've been playing next to and formed a bond with leaves (or is forced out), how motivated am I to stick around?
