Maybe, but I don't think the portal is luring our desirables away...

We offered enough for Mutts to stay another year but couldn't get Basille to chose our offer over Italy. It has been reported by our TSL staff that talents like Rice, Nolley, Maddox and Alleyne did not leave because of NIL or being poached. One could argue that the others that left through attrition were not pushed to retain (which could say something about our evaluations or development).

Buzz was willing to do whatever it takes, from what I’ve heard

NIL and portal prevent keeping high star talent, and developing 3*s.**

Could Basile have chosen to stay for some NIL money?

I’m saying in general for any program everywhere that wants to develop **

Yep, that hurts system teams like VT, UVA, etc. And, helps Duke, Kentucky..
