Have you ever left somewhere you enjoyed for a better opportunity elsewhere? Did you think the people who helped you enjoy that place?
That’s all they’re doing, pretty weird getting mad at a 20-year-old kid for thinking people who helped participate in an important developmental year Athletically, intellectually, and personally.
In today’s world these are business decisions not personal ones. If you’re leaving Microsoft for an opportunity to make $100K more at Amazon that doesn’t mean you have a problem with the people you worked with at Microsoft. And nobody holds it against you for leaving.
If I’m leaving Indiana to make $100K more at Louisville I’m going, no matter how much I love at Indiana. And if I loved (or even just liked) Indiana then I’ll take the opportunity to thank the people who helped make my time there.
Complain about NIL and the portal, sure. I disagree but that’s reasonable. But STOP GROUCHING ABOUT THE PLAYERS. They are 18-22 year old kids who are just trying to do the best for themselves. As every person on this board would.
