About this episode

The Glue Guys debate the impact of NIL and the transfer portal on college sports and fan connections.

Has NIL and the transfer portal destroyed what made college sports special—or are fans romanticizing a past that never truly existed? The Glue Guys debate how money and player movement have changed college athletics, whether loyalty still matters, and why fans can still form deep connections with players who may spend only one season at a school.
