We have relatively few people leaving in portal. Look at Wisconsin for example!

How many starters are leaving WI’s team?

Badger coaches may be advising players who aren’t seen as future starters that the portal is their best friend. Frees up scholarships for others

NU at least used to tell prospective that their scholarships are “protected”

That’s correct, but it has to be concerning to see Fickel’s entire first class, which was intended to be a pivot to a different offensive system and type of talent, to be a bust.

This probably shouldn’t be viewed as a concern because it’s an exodus of guys they need as much as a traditional recruiting and development failure.

TBH it’s a concern more guys like this haven’t left NU, thihhh a couple have
 
Looks like all the CTE stuff disappeared. Cuz that’s not football related. Good luck on the coming Rock membership drive.
I see you NC. Be nice if all those frustrated with the subjective way these boards are run to vote w their pocketbooks. Much the same for the various athletic programs at NU.

It’s not about the benji, it’s about the treadlines. Smarter service oriented businesses watch trends carefully and try to inflate qualities that grow revenue and stomp out the alternatives.

Yahoo and NU aren’t looking to end NU football. That’s not good for the overall business model. They need to keep things with an upward trajectory. If recurring revenue takes a hit or new revenue declines, the smart company asks why.

The dumb ones censor and suspend. Hi Cappy. Luv ya. Dare you to let this truth stand.
 
So far NU has managed to retain the bulk of its team, though losing three starters plus the long snapper is not ideal. We need to survive this window and the new one opening up in the spring.
