Three years. THREE YEARS since they eliminated the spring transfer window and somehow the sport has gotten even more chaotic. You watch Oklahoma State bring in 50 trransfers under a new coach and Colorado haul in 43 and I just think about what Barry Alvarez would say if he saw this. He built those 90s teams with Wisconsin kids who grew up dreaming of running through that tunnel at Camp Randall. Ron Dayne, Joe Panos, Mike Thompson, those guys were Badgers through and through. Now every spring you got kids hopping in the portal like it is a damn rental car agency. The NIL money has turned college football into professional free agency with a jersey on top. I saw where the new revenue sharing model caps at 20.5 million per school and everybody is celebrating like that fixes things. All that does is formalize the pay for play system we all pretended didnt exist for a hundred years. You remember when a kid committed to Wisconsin and his dad shook the coaches hand and that was that? No lawyers, no agents, no bidding wars. Just a promise and a handshake and four years of developing into a man. Now you got five star prospects transferring twice before they ever start a bowl game. The portal killed loyalty and NIL killed the soul and I am tired of pretending otherwise.
