The collection of talent that Eck has compiled at Idaho is pretty jaw-dropping. They had five players transfer to Power 5 conferences alone. The coaching staff has had some impressive coming and goings as well. Eck is going to be a force in the years to come.

My view is that a sign of a good team is not how many players go into the Portal and to FBS. My view is that often fewer or few players going into the Portal, and multiple players coming from the Portal, combine to show a better and stronger team. Multiple good players going to the Portal is also a sign of not wanting to stick with their teammates and win a national championship, or that they think a national championship is not something they can do. See Idaho. See Cats. Etc.

I have my doubts whether they will get 8 votes. Spearheaded by 1 or 2 guys. Also, look at their record. Coach has lost team.

I was thinking more in general terms, not one school specifically. Can't imagine there is much revenue to access after expenses coming in. I think a lot of negative consequences are out there for the majority of programs that don't get boatloads of TV cash.

Insurance is a very legitimate concern for athletes IMO. I can still feel old high school dings and and my 50th reunion is this summer :shock: . Lots of future chronic knee problems out there. Funny how media can miss details like that in this story.
