As opposed to what Missouri is doing to keep up? Isn't the portal a good thing for the athletes? 

Missouri has no where near the funds to play a bidding war for AA transfers with Iowa, OKST, and Penn State. Ohio State hasn't even been able to bring in a big transfer in the NIL era. I'm sure there is someone, but who are some returning AAs that have transferred to somewhere other than PSU, Michigan, Iowa, or OKST? 

Beard to Lehigh is the only one I can think of off the top of my head.

I forget when NIL started, but since 2022 there has also been Sebastian Rivera, Evan Wick, Brayton Lee if we’re counting any prior year, and Buchanan the first time.

I’d be curious to know how many returning AA’s have even transferred at all though in the last few years.  I don’t think it’s a huge number (which would be even less without the free covid year), and I think the top 3 or 4 teams would have been more likely to get them even without NIL.  There have been plenty of guys AA after transferring to schools that aren’t one of those 4 though (they just hadn’t done it before transferring).

I’m betting Ferrari Sr and Earl Woods would have a lot to talk about.

It would be a one way conversation.
