Sorsby in the portal

If the new coach has to go the Deion route, whatever. The portal giveth and taketh away. Sorsby is a nice QB, but not the end of the world. If he can hit a wide open receiver 25 yards behind the defense, then IU probably wins yesterday. This was a 3-9 team: there ain't that many worth keeping.
As far as I'm concerned if you want to bail on IU, don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out.
I agree. His accuracy is a question mark. New coach will want his QB even if from portal.
The important one is McCulley isn't yet.
We’ve got Jackson. Not too worried if Sorsby wants to bail. He probably made his mind up on this show during the “QB battle.”
How many years of eligibility do they get? It used to be 5 with a redshirt year. I have no idea now.
4 plus redshirt. Word is Sorsby has already received a 6 figure NIL offer.
No biggie. Half the team will be in the portal before long.
Sorsby may have planned on transferring all along so he could play for a winner.

Wow, 6 figures for him? Somebody's got more dollars than sense.
Mama's don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Put them in sports as soon as possible.
Sounds like some tampering to me.
Less than 24 hours after the final game he's in the portal with an NIL deal.
Surely this is something the inept NCAA can put rules in place to prevent the obvious misconduct.

I think it’s thanks to the US Supreme Court as well as the California legislature.
True, but the NCAA's weak argument didn't give SCOTUS much choice. And rather than invest in an alternative plan should the Court not let it maintain status quo, the arrogant NCAA just threw up it's hands and let it become the wild, wild west. It did the same thing with the transfer portal mess.
NCAA doesn't really have much power anymore. Only what the power 5 wants to give them.
If someone is paying Sorsby 100k plus to play football then good luck to him and I hope he’s a saver.
They had no argument. Clearly antitrust. The ncaa would’ve been in court anyway.
I sort of assumed all along that, if nothing else, some of the Texas schools would throw some money at him.
I think for the long-term prospects of the program retaining Lowry might be more important than either Sorsby or Jackson.
This is the important part people miss. The ruling was narrow enough to allow the NCAA to continue to maintain regulation, just that schools/conferences couldn't make money on the players' NIL and not allow the players to do so as well. The NCAA either didn't see this coming or didn't care when they chose not to regulate it.
Exactly. I think the NCAA has always relied on alumni and boosters in high places (Congress) to protect its self-interest. Congress may still step in at some point, but given how dysfunctional that place is currently, I have a feeling the NCAA is either going to have to come up with a solution on its own or allow the madness to continue.
So, all the other programs are drooling over and throwing better NIL deals toward everyone on our 3-9 roster? .
Then I guess we'll recruit from the thousand great players in the portal from all the other coaching changes. Because apparently when a coach leaves, everybody leaves.
