So now, players are threatening to enter the portal this spring if they do not promote a coach from the staff. There was a new mutiny when she recommended former A&T Assistant and current Fort Valley State Head Coach Shawn Gibbs to the position. This after her #1 candidate Trei Oliver from NCCU used that open position to get a new contract from the Eagles.
yeesh ... this is exactly why all kids need boundaries.

Money always corrupts. Which is why no college athlete should get anything more than their tax free 30-40k schollie per year working a part time job, so to speak. Maybe 1-2% are "worth" more. The rest are paid adequately or over-paid. Plus most will have a college degree when they are done.

Transfers should be limited to following: 1 free mulligan, 1 grad transfer, and/or if you have your schollie taken away ... no more than that.

But .. the toothpaste is out of the tube now, what a mess !!!!!!
