Transfer Portal

More about FBS and NIL deals then leadership IMO. These kids want a shot at the money and no amount of leadership is going to stop it. I get it, it sucks but it is what it is and we need to adapt. Time for an NIL collective for NDSU and a push for FBS by the big dollar boosters. Need somebody to step up to the plate.

Also, Gen Z is a whole different breed. Everything is about clout and being rewarded before you earn it.

I think there is something to this too. In the last 10-15 years the amount of options a person has for almost everything in their everyday life has grown drastically. Watch anything you want, any time you want. Food options on literally every corner of the street. Social media of all kinds. All this creates an entitlement and need for instant gratification. If you don't like what you have, go get something else.

Now that choice has come to college football. The pull of FBS, NIL and being wanted by a "bigger school" is just too much for some.

Yes it’s terrible that people have so many options to choose what they want lol

NDSU can adapt or it can become the next Montana. And it starts with NIL. Where do we sign up for that?

To be fair, they were raised by Gen X and older Millenials. Those were the ones handing out participation trophies

Yep, most of us know that every school is losing players. What that list doesn't tell me is whether any of those players were starters or projected to be starters.

I do think one thing that is somewhat unique to NDSU is the track record of high caliber players and putting players into the NFL that attracts high level talent that went under the radar and through their play and film are now on other schools radar. But the thing that is really unique to NDSU is the dominance at this level that is now directly impacted by the transfer portal when almost no other factor got in the way.

I don't think Entz has been aggressive enough in the portal himself. As you said in another thread, adapt or die.

I mean, he bought those nice glasses to make everyone think he’s not stoopid. Seems to be working.
