One has to understand, in todays age of large egos, the Portal’s value is a soft fall and landing, or a quiet exit. While most think the Portal is a step to the big time, for most it is not.

Seems like one way to determine fair compensation would be to let a lightly regulated market do that job for you much as it does for most employment.

A couple of our wrestlers seem to have found nice new gigs at Iowa.

Compensating the participants would bastardize the amateur sporting community and completely ruin all athletic competition forever..........but compensating those who coach and administrate those sports is totally cool.
