I think most you have seen the stories the past few days talking about the Wild West that has come as a result of the Transfer Portal this offseason.
Essentially it is open season on quality players from non-P5 schools with internediaries from P5 staffs reaching out to HS coaches and through old HS teammates to recruit players to go to the transfer portal where their decision is esentially a foregone conclusion. It is tampering gone amuck! And there is ZERO enforcement right now from the NCAA who can't even enforce the much publicized basketball scandal.
So what does this all mean for the Flames? Tough question. So far we have been spared the exodus of talent that many G5s & Indies have experienced. But that may not last forever. Could this create some scheduling opprtunities for us with P5 guarantees? Maybe.

It was late December, not yet the end of the season, and already the wolves were circling. An assistant at a high-level Power 5 program knew two of his school's best young players -- one on offense and one on defense -- were being actively recruited by other programs. In fact, he said, it was "unbelievable" how many coaches were reaching out to players on his team's roster.
"The cheaters," the frustrated assistant said, "just keep cheating."
Tampering officially arrived in college football this offseason, leaving coaches to both lament the current state of the game -- and try to keep up.
