West Virginia head coach Rich Rodriguez speaks on all of the movement into the portal.
head coach Rich Rodriguez knows that players entering the transfer portal is just a part of the world we live in nowadays in college athletics. No matter what you do or what you can offer, sometimes student-athletes have their mind made up.
“Not surprising. I mean, college football has changed so much. A lot of times, guys go in the portal because they want to see what their value is. Some guys want to go because they want an opportunity to play more. And some guys go, and they don’t know what the hell they want to do. I think sometime over the next year or two, there’ll be some more sanity put into college athletics.
"There’s a lot of good players out there. I don’t want to lose any of our good players, but it’s inevitable, it happens. If they do that, then I’ll go find one myself in the portal. Last year at Jax State, I know it’s Group of Five, but we had 60 new players. We lost a lot of guys that got bigger offers at Power Five, but we just got in the portal and, got some good players and ended up having a pretty good year.
