Just saw that CBS Sports article about FCS not producing a single first three round draft pick for the first time since 1978 and it makes my blood boil. I remember when Washburn would send guys to the NFL out of the MIAA and it meant something because they earned it grinding in front of 4,000 fans at Yager Stadium in November. Now every kid with a pulse transfers up to the FBS the second they get a highlight tape and the whole lower division system is getting hollowed out. We used to have real rivalries with Pittsburg State and Northwest Missouri where both sides had NFL caliber talent. Now those kids are gone before they ever play a meaningful conference game. The portal killed the soul of programs like ours and nobody in the NCAA cares because the money is all at the top.
