    Poff, Juncaj, and Co need to become a selling point of the school. If NIL has turned Power 5 conferences into the minor leagues for the NFL and NBA, then we need to ensure that we sell this as a top destination minor league spot for the P5! Why ride the pine at a P5 school waiting your turn when you can go to the FCS playoffs or NCAA tourney here as a star then transfer. That is what I preached and posted when Nichols and Cremo left, and it is more true now than it was then.

    I loved Poff, but we all knew this was coming even if we didn't want to admit it. Too much NIL money going around at big schools for him not to. I might question his sanity if he didn't try to transfer.

    Bring on Van Weber. Give him two years of success then onto the next. It's the reality of the game today, at least until we consistently win and get some deep pocket alums to create our own NIL fund that can pay these kids 6 figures plus.

    Totally agree with you. We knew it was coming. If the kid has P5 offers and can be a starter...GREAT. Go get it kid! But if it's a back-up spot...I don't get it. Based on what I have seen from P5 schools, a good chunk have starters set for next year. If Oklahoma State is offering you a QB2 or QB3 spot, I don't get why you go. Heck, if he was being offered a starting spot at Buffalo I would even question it because he would get equal exposure at UAlbany compared to Buffalo if you ask me.

    But again, who am I to talk I guess.
