2025 Transfer Portal

Why would the Crosstown Shooutout die? The fans still hate each other. That's enough. The players just probably won't fight anymore. That's a good thing.

I don't know. But I doubt guys from NM or random national portal guys really care about it or have even heard of it.

I guess we need a team first.

Exactly what I was going to say. The game is for the fans. Yes it’s fun when the players don’t like each other either but more than anything it’s for the fan bases and we generally hate each other.

From Trilly's discord there is a picture of a whiteboard with players on it and attached money to said player. Trilly says it's real and looks like Millers..

Has Swain/Conwell at 2m each, also has Traore listed at 500k. We will see if it's accurate, but fuck Miller regardless.

Basically, the roster is going to be potentially a couple of NM transfers and the rest mid-major portal guys.

Will the Crosstown Shootout inevitably die in the NIL era? There is zero dedication to program anymore. It's 99.9% about the cash.

There isn't a sport on the planet that successfully operates with all players on one year deals and complete roster turnovers yearly. At some point, things in college sports will change to ensure some level of yearly stability and player retention.

The current model is in no way sustainable.

Agree unfortunately.

Does someone insert some common sense along the way, or do they just wait until it burns before making changes?

And who is the right entity to make those changes?

Wonder if we'll start seeing two year NIL deals become legal, which even then brings its own set of problems, like sure you get a kid at a mid-major for $500k for two years, but happens if after 1 year a P5 school offers him $750k for two years, you take that move 10/10 times I'd think, it's a mess and I don't really know how to fix it tbh.

Seems suspicious to me. Will say even though I hate Miller, I wouldn’t be mad at swain or conwell for going with him. They signed up to play for Sean, it kinda makes sense.

Of course I’ll root against them but just bc it’s Texas. If Swain ended up at OSU I would be indifferent towards him.

I imagine you could put a buyout in the deal of some sort -- if the SEC/B10 schools wants the player badly enough, they'll pay his $1M/$2M buyout.
