So I'm curious about the transfer portal process (I guess I haven't paid that much attention)
Once you enter the portal, is it you're jumping all in, no net? So you have to be pretty confident you are going to better your situation (program wise, NIL $$ wise, etc) Is there no safety net there? Assuming the team you are leaving would prefer you didn't leave?
If you are paying attention, these will be revenue generators in short order. I often wondered why Schlossnagle left TCU for A&M, but this makes it all make sense and I think he is ahead of his time. Why can't we be a visionary just once? We need alumni and an administration that feels the same way. Coaches need to push the AD, the AD needs to push the President, they all need to push the BOR and they all need to set the vision and push our alumni.

I agree with you. But I guess my question is whether a different, higher level would exist in the non-power setup. IOW, are TCU, Baylor, SMU, UH, Tulane, and others creating a level of play that wouldn't include schools like ours? I'd seriously doubt that they could do that. Maybe they wouldn't let us play them and keep us from being in a conference with them, but I'd think that we would be able to play at this hypothetical scenario. Maybe our conference setup would be with other regional teams outside of Texas' old SWC teams again, but I'd imagine we would still be on equal footing with those schools.
