NIL foundation cracker
- Thread starter WVUALLEN
- Start date
Kevin Kinder from recent news story.
All these transfers offer up the same babble that all the others take out of the sports agent’s book of cliched goodbye notes:
“I would like to thank the great state of West Virginia and all Mountaineer fans over the years. You are the most loyal fans a player could ever hope for and I have enjoyed playing for you. I would like to thank coach Brown and the other coaches and strength staff for the great opportunity presented to me. I will remember all the friendships made. With that being said, I will be doing what’s best for me and entering the transfer portal. Please respect my decision.”
It's a freaking joke.
There is no loyalty, no pretense that there’s loyalty.
Thank you coach, thank you teammates, thank you fans, thank you community ... maybe we can catch up again some time. You might even stop by an autograph show and I’ll sign something for you for $50.
Coaches ought to reply on social media like this.
“Thanks, and don’t let the door hit you in the rear on the way out.”
I know, I’m old and I’m old-fashioned.
Stop for a moment. Sit back and think about why you enjoyed sports and why today it has lost all the things that drew you to being a fan.
It was messed up how Woods left. He just stopped showing up before season was even over. This whole thing is going to ruin college sports. The transfer portal is already just as if not more important than high school recruiting classes, Neal should be going after every Alabama, Georgia, etc transfer he can get. Lots of talent leaving those schools because they were buried in the depth chart. This whole thing is ridiculous.
He doesn't have the brains to do so or he would have done it last season when he instead got FCS secondary to replace P5 players.
