Transfer Portal implosion

[dillondobies]

Kudos to Rabble. He's a true fan and is right about what has happened to college football (and other sports as well, basketball for sure). I too go way back and gave away a large collection. I was hooked as a kid when a radio broadcaster said 'Here come the black knights." You could say that back then without losing your job.
I try to retain my interest but it's more and more difficult. I've turned to pro football - at least its honest about what it is.

And now Jordan Mays declares…

Thoughts from my foxhole on this terrible run of transfer portal losses. It’s particularly alarming that these announcements are coming AFTER spring practice and the Black-Gold Game. Not only that, it’s defensive starters (3 so far) that are leaving. I’m beginning to believe something else is at play here in a foreboding sense. Are there imminent coaching departures we are yet to hear about? Is team cohesion eroding in the locker room? I don’t know but you’d have a hard time convincing me nothing is amiss.

The transfer portal and the NIL have ruined college football. This is a simple statement from an old Army fan since I was a seven year- old boy . Eighty years a fan and collector of Army information filling two rooms of my home on library shelving. Proud of it and wish to donate it all to anyone who would want it. All records are complete and organized by date ( 1890-2024)
I have tried with West Point but cannot find the proper contact to date. Nothing has been digitized but very well could be. It is a treasure that I would believe would be a fine addition to the history of Army Football.
Sad with the way things have gone and disappointed of these latest developments, but that is the end for me since the game has changed, I have changed too I guess.
OLD FANS DONT DIE, THEY JUST STOP COLLECTING. but still happy.

RABBLE,

I sent you a private message if you can't find a taker. I will gladly take your collection.

Looks like Mayes is returning to us after all which is great news.
