Packers Hire New Defensive Coordinator: Jeff Hafley, formerly Head Coach, Boston College

The author needs to brush up on the portal and ask himself why Hafley was frustrated and irritated because they couldn't bring quality players in. They were getting blindsided by schools who had sponsors with deep pockets who were luring kids away with promises of big bucks. That's not happening at BC, what is happening is a rather small by comparison amount of money is coming in to a collective which shares the money across the wide spectrum of athletes in almost all sports.

BC is not going to be competitive unless it's an accident. Their 7-6 record this year is exactly where they should be. But chances are they're going to be slipping over the next few years.

Yep. With NIL and the transfer portal, schools with deep-pocketed alumni will rule the day. It was bound to happen, but I miss the way college football was run before NIL and the portal.

You mean when schools with deep-pocketed alumni ruled the day? Just like now, except payments are ABOVE the table. Yeah, the portal sucks and may be the death of college sports for me.

Yeah the rich alumni have always had their hand in college football, that hasn't changed. The alumni provide $$$ to fund NIL. The portal allows players to follow the money a lot easier.
