If you are 18-20 years old and unlikely to sniff the NFL draft, wouldnt you try and score 100k+ in the transfer portal if your own squad can’t or won’t pay you. Loyalty is no longer a part of the equation if there is an opportunity to make a big chunk of money once, twice or even 3 times for some kids. Not saying I like it, but I get it. It really sucks to be honest…but again, at least understand why it’s rampant.
Edit: Even 50-75k is a large number at that age.
