@ErtelLuke leads the Marauders to their first state title! The #Purdue commit totaled 26 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. He dapped up #Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton after reaching the mountaintop.
That’s your Indiana Mr. Basketball!!

Last April, NCAA D2 Limestone University needed $6 Million in order to stay open.
They couldn't find the cash, so the 180-year-old school had to shut down.
Meanwhile, we have college students who happen to play Football who'll likey be paid that much in 1 year.
Perspective.

Purdue became the first team in the past 20 years to shoot over 56.0 percent from the field, score 80 or more points and have three or fewer turnovers and lose. Insane.

10 examples of the college football transfer mess:
- The top 10 high school QB recruits in 2024 have transferred colleges a total of 11 times in 2 years. Only 1 is still with his original team.
- Iowa State had 55 players enter the portal and 16 graduate this year. Every starter has left the team besides the kicker. Don’t worry, they have 45 incoming transfers and 25 new high school or JUCO recruits.
- A QB flipped his commitment from Miami to Florida on the promise of a $14 million NIL deal that never came through. He never enrolled and is now on his 4th team.
- Duke had a 2 yr/$8 mil contract with their QB. After his first season there, he decided not to enter the draft and released a video recommitting to the team. Nevertheless, 3 hours before the deadline, he enter the portal and announced a transfer to Miami, leaving Duke flailing. Duke has sued the player.
- An OK St player entered the portal and announced intention to make official visits to multiple teams, including scheduling dates to visit OK St, the school he was already enrolled and playing at.
- Reporter to Miami QB: “what is it like being you as a student (in the week leading up to the national championship?" Beck, who transferred to Miami in 2025, laughed: “No class. I graduated 2 years ago.”
- One player has transferred 6 times, playing for 7 schools: LSU, Auburn, Texas State, Western Kentucky, Tulane, Georgia State, and Incarnate Word.
- Four days after signing a new 1-year, $4+ million exclusive contract with Washington, the QB entered the transfer portal. Washington threatened legal action and the player recommitted to the school.
- UNLV QB claimed he school orally promised $100k of NIL. After a 3-0 start, he had only received $3,000. He quit the team, left the school, and sat out the rest of the season.
- LSU owes Ole Miss $1 million in contract buyout fees after recruiting 2 players in recent weeks. Ole Miss, with an unexpected hole in their roster and $ in their pocket, convinced a player who had just transferred from Cal to Clemson in early January to transfer for the 2nd time in 2 weeks.

🚨🚨 THIS IS INSANE🚨🚨
Miami star QB Carson Beck revealed that he graduated from college a couple of years ago from the University of Georgia.
Reporter: “Did you have class yesterday…”
Beck: “No class… I graduated two years ago”
Beck is 23-years-old.xitter.cf/Fatslob1123/status/201…

According to Josh Pate, many players who have been entering the portal have been asking to RETURN to their former teams, just to be rejected.
One of the many consequences of entering the transfer portal to chase a bag instead of staying, and developing. 👀
This will be a very interesting phenomenon in the portal, as many of these kids will ultimately not even sign to another team.
30% of kids will NEVER find a school to transfer to and will drop down to Division 2 instead…

Lo que está pasando con Darian Mensah y Duke es el ejemplo perfecto de que el College Football necesita una regulación urgente. No hay otra forma de decirlo.
Os cuento la historia, porque es increíble:
Mensah, tras ganar la ACC con Duke, anuncia que se queda en la universidad para 2026. Con esa palabra, el equipo decide no buscar un sustituto en el Transfer Portal. Todo parecía cerrado pero, a escasas horas del límite, Mensah rompe su compromiso y entra en el portal.
¿El motivo? Miami. Los Hurricanes se habían quedado sin opciones y han ido a la desesperada a por él. Se habla de una operación de unos 10 millones de dólares en total, pero la clave está en cómo se financia el movimiento.
Ahí es donde entra Adidas. El contrato, las campañas y los acuerdos publicitarios que el jugador va a firmar con la marca son los que permiten cubrir el "buyout" millonario de Duke (unos 4-5M), que tiene sus derechos exclusivos de NIL, y cerrar un salario para el jugador que rondaría los 5 o 6 millones de dólares.
Que un jugador busque su mejor futuro es lógico, pero dejar vendida a tu universidad en el último segundo porque ha aparecido una oferta económica superior es cargarse este deporte. Es el salvaje oeste; sin un marco legal real, esto ya no es competición, es una subasta constante.

Legit feel bad for 2026 HS football recruits. Worst year in history to be a HS kid. Not even close. 2027, 2028 and so on will be equally bad.
