With news breaking over the last couple days that wide receiver Julian Fleming would be transferring TO Penn State, followed quickly by wide receiver Dante Cephas transferring FROM Penn State, it’s kind of hard not to think about the give-and-take nature of the transfer portal.
I’ve written about this before, but with COVID, penalty-free transfers, and NIL just to name a few things, college football has taken a fairly quick turn to a minor league farm system for the NFL.
That’s not to say it wasn’t already. As the only major sports league without a minor league system, college football has long been the only avenue for pro prospects to showcase their talents before heading to the NFL.
