the portal and nil and conf realignment and anything goes have all had the negative impact on the sport/s that many on here predicted. the last several pages of this thread is living proof. one by one you are all testifying on how your interest has waned.

as many on here predicted.

I still think it's a mistake to lump them together. I've made my feelings clear, but - the lack of continuity and development that comes from the portal is the biggest problem, and it is exacerbated by NIL for sure.

I don't think it's a mistake to lump them together - they are very much intertwined.
There wouldn't be nearly as much transferring if there wasn't NIL.

My interest has not waned at all. I can't wait for another enjoyable season of KU hoops to start!

I also agree with this. Following the almighty dollar.

Like KU football has done playing in Mizzou.

Yes, in Missouri. Giving the state $$$$$. It’s un-Christian.

I agree on the intertwinement (?). I don’t think it’s 1:1, though.

the great states of fla and tx have approved nil for the HS kids. a class of 2026 HS quarterback in fla signed a $400,000.00 nil deal.

I'd argue it's not good for the kid but that's a different thread.

don’t all these things really just boil down to the pursuit of money and selfishness?

realignment, the portal, and NIL…
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?
