[In reply to "Is playing on a good team w/ good players with goal of championship even important to the college player anymore?" by Urban Cowbuck, posted at 18:22:29 04/21/24]

...or is it we just want the portal to be one way where only mid players leave and great players come in?

: Or is it just a money grab and how the team performs is secondary. As rich as LeBron was he wanted to surround himself with greatness ( Miami Heat) Championship playoff, titles meant something. I guess I was hoping that Okpara would have welcomed improving his OSU squad.
