I was trying not to make this rent, but I don’t know if that’s going to work. Here’s the deal. The portal is way too big. The problem I’m having is that I’m a father and my son is in that portal filled with 9000 other players. A number I’m offering might not be the real thing but it is at least an estimate that is based on perceptions by people close to or having access to report now
what does that mean to me? it means that I have to find a way to help my son navigate this very dangerous and tricky situation as he tries to move towards his next step in college football and towards becoming a professional player. This is the way things are now. Everyone is trying to make money and everyone is trying to feel the best team. It was always like this but now everything is supposedly upfront and on the table. However, we can see from recent events that not everything is always as upfront as it seems. a childhood friend is in the portal or trying to be . He is being held back by his school because he signed a contract with that school and then opted to go to the portal. They won’t let him. They feel that he has a legal obligation, so we’ll see what happens with that. I’ll also see with my kid because this thing is getting crazier and crazier by the day. I don’t know how to be helpful in the whole situation. But I want is for him to have a chance to play and grow and learn and become a better band and a better football player. But I don’t know how to make that happen. It’s a stressful moment as a dad to be powerless in a situation when your son is suffering. Learning how to deal with that is, I guess, a part of our fatherhood as Well.
