we are allowed to get mad at transfer portal players. sorry.
I'm a HUGE Jabril Cox & Jasir Cox fan, but we can still be mad.
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
1. Absolutely agree it makes the coaching job more difficult. It's part of the job now. Current and prospective coaches understand that. These kids aren't breaking the rules. It sounds like your primary issue should be with the NCAA for allowing it (you mentioned this) and not the young adults trying to do what THEY THINK is best for them within the confines of the student athlete rules. Hopefully they have a good support network to help them make an informed decision.
2. Can you explain how this situation isn't at least similar to a business situation? Employee was hired to do a job, did a great job for years, took an opportunity elsewhere he felt was best for him, employer now unexpectedly has to fill that role via recruiting, training, etc. You're saying this isn't a business so let's not discuss this in business dollars and cents. At a high level this seems very similar to me but I am interesting in hearing other viewpoints.
3. I think the transfer stats would be a great thing for all student athletes and programs to have visibility to. Might encourage some, might discourage others. But it would be valuable information to those making a pretty important decision.
4. How does it destroy the integrity of existing teams? Genuinely interested to hear this fleshed out. Getting a wee bit hyperbolic, no?

Absolutely get into your feels, Lakes. No problem with that.
I personally think being disappointed or frustrated that he is leaving is totally reasonable. Him leaving likely negatively impacts the team we cheer for and care a lot about.
I think being angry enough to spew personal attacks at a player that to our knowledge was nothing short of a great teammate and hard worker is a step too far and comes across pretty damn selfish.
You stated you are a big fan of his but are mad he is leaving. Seems fine to me (not that you care about my opinion).

I find it funny that people here think that this only happens to NDSU because we're not FBS.
Insert something clever here...
