NIL + "Transfer Portal" of High School Football

[OutlawAngel]

So curious of people's thoughts (as looking at the "Bearden Goliath" discussion), the Memphis NIL deals with a little research, and overall stipulations of players transferring to other places over the summer.

I ask you this, a popular conversation in other states too. Do you think that the Transfer Porter\NIL is going to not essentially ruin, but make the rich, richer, stronger teams even better in metropolitan areas in Tennessee? I would think this would hurt some of the "large rural towns" such as Oakland but what do I know, as some of the suburban schools have a much easier outlet to find players. 

 

Thoughts?

When did Oakland and Murfreesboro (The 6th largest city in TN) become "a Large Rural town"?  

I feel like the rich will get richer but feel like you need to brush up on your geography and what is classified as Rural around here.

The transfer portal is nothing new. Been happening for decades in Tennessee. Some have just figured out how to maximize its effectiveness in their favor.

Have visited Maryville, Alcoa, and majority of Knoxville...amazing places, very rural feel. Apologies.

I'd blame the transfer rule. One time transfer without sitting out....wow.

Greenback got any good ones?

Every team attempts to recruit. Some are better than others. Some have done it so well they don’t have to as much as they previously did.

Alcoa isn't recruiting Greenback kids.  Greenback kids are leaving for a more successful program.  These are two different things.  A transfer is legal.  Recruiting kids isn't.  At some point y'all might understand the difference.
