Very good paper on the status of what we know now.

Figured I would get a discussion fired up. What are your overall thoughts on name/image/likeness and the portal as a whole?

I think there are different schools of thought, especially with the portal....

You could argue that coaches can willy nilly go and come as they please, so why not the athletes?

I think that guard rails need to be put in place. I personally believe that a guy SHOULD be able to explore greener pastures ONE TIME WITH A PASS. After that idk. Just don't like the free agency feel with guys changing schools each season.

Switching gears, what do you think about NIL? Do you agree as is? Love it? Hate it? Should there be cap? No cap?

Interesting take from the editorial board of the Sidelines.

Jaye Nash is a player MTSU has reached out to. As a true freshman at Tulsa, did not really produce much but was a heralded recruit. The point guard was a true freshman so did not play with Jarred Hall. Played senior season at McEachern with Ace Bailey and co., but before that was an in-state standout at Briarcrest Christian in Memphis
