Fans of whoever loses the ndsu/um game need to brace themselves come next Monday.

Maybe even the winner. Portal closes till April on Jan 2 before Frisco.

Do all these FCS QBs think they will go FBS. There are a couple each year who can make it. I suppose if they Grad transfer it let's them get some of that school paid for if they play or not, and many are on 6th year of school. So I suppose try it out. But with so many moving FBS to FBS hard to see many open spots versus coming back to where you are sure starter.

This right here. Sluka has been in since 11/20 and still no projections or interest know to the public. With Ifanse last year, 247 Sports was pretty accurate with his portal interests. Only thing that adds value to McCoy is only being a sophomore.

But only throwing for 15 TD'S, in a dome 1/2 the time and Hatton as your main guy? Not sure those numbers convince teams he can throw against even decent mid major programs consistently.

Agree

I suppose the FCS could come together and create some sort of new scholarship or contract, but every conference would have to be on board with it as it's not something that could be passed at the NCAA level.

If you want to play in the FCS, your contract is 2-3 years or something. There is a flip side to this though, you can't cut them. Or you are subject to the same buyout clause or whatever exists in the contract.

The FCS should start looking at unique ways to protect it's assets.

this proposal is dead from the start.
that would make them employees and the schools dont want taht.

Imagine the price Andersen would have had in his head during all this?

Edit: I am speaking from the standpoint for FCS guys only.

True. I guess my point is, if Sluka is not hearing much McCoy probably isn’t, only positive I see is his age. Will be interesting to see what coaches are willing to take guys back.

[BleedingBLue]

Furman QB in the portal.
This is getting ridiculous.

Head scratcher here. No disrespect intended, but he's not better than FCS.

Weren't they talking about him doing Army Ranger training or something next month?

[RickRund]

Idaho had better be looking for a place to get all that yardage back. That will hurt.

Yep, I will join the "I hate the portal" group... It is what it is...

Just because it isn’t on Twitter doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened.

This one doesn't seem as bad to me situation wise. Grad transfer existed before the portal.

I didn't watch Saturday so I'm not sure.

I read Fitzgerald is going to Western

Fully understand that. Common sense can often prevail, and something tells me Sluka and McCoy will be sitting in the portal for some time, I even earlier mentioned that obviously not all their wheeling and dealing is public. But with never ending list of already more exceptional Qb’s in the portal, tells me they are just shooting their shot. I can see McCoy trying his shot at FBS, realizing that it’s no fun losing and finding his way back to FCS.

That’s the Utah State QB

But coaches can come and go! Employees in the “real world” can leave for a better job but student athletes can’t? These kids have a very small window to capitalize on their athletic capabilities, let them live!

I mean some transfers are actually related to their education. It's quite possible Furman doesn't offer a masters program in his field of choice so he needs to play elsewhere.

Utah went into this season as returning Pac 12 champs and a competitive Rose Bowl appearance without a single medically cleared QB on scholarship. I cant imagine thats super common, but Huff would clearly have had a backup spot there.

But even more than that, he reminds me of Isaiah Ifanse. Dudes been at Furman for 5 years, he's 22 or 23. Probably wants to get a graduate degree from somewhere else.

MSU should offer him. He's tough as Tommy Mellot & a better passer (but slower). Seems like he would be a really good fit for what MSU is trying to do in its 2 QB system.
