When making this whine-a-thon, Kiffin even admitted that he's moved around more than any of the athletes he's talking about.

Just another rich, power-broker hypocrite who wants to keep the right to make money and move freely for his ilk.

Do NIL and the transfer portal cause some chaos? Sure. That's life. There are plenty of professions that aren't affected at all by NIL and the transfer portal. If those things bother Kiffin so much, he has the freedom as an American to quit coaching and choose one of those.

I wouldn't call it a whine a thon or a hypocrite.  He didn't complain about or decry NIL.  He didn't say it ruined CFB.  And he even admitted it helps him and his team.  He just said it's a mess in some ways and makes coaching much more of a PITA in some ways.  Something can be for the greater good and still be problematic in the short term.

Honestly, it's kind of refreshing in its honesty.  It's a far cry from the whining that someone like Dabo does.  I think you can be pro-NIL and pro-athletes getting paid while still admitting it's the wild Wild West, especially early on.  Especially with the sentiment of "it's a disaster, but we'll figure it out like we always do". 

I'm enthusiastically pro-NIL, but I don't disagree that large wholesale roster changes or turnover every year isn't the best, even if it is empowering.

Well, he said NIL and the portal made college football "a disaster."

But yes, it was refreshing to hear him say he's basically been in coaching's version of the  transfer portal his entire career. So maybe he's less of a hypocrite than others. That's fair.

Pre SeasonCoaches Poll is out. Amazing that 5 current members of the Pac-12 are in the top 25. Kind of highlights the embarrassing role of the  University Presidents and Commissioner of Pac12 in not getting their media deal done.
