Does entering the portal drive up your NIL value? Same as telling your boss to fuck off so he gives you a raise or you'll leave?
Yes. It is a negotiation tactic
Stop that.
If they go in the portal they have the opportunity to leave. If Dannen hired Wilcox then they could bounce. As it is they could easily stay.
Going in the portal by itself doesn't necessarily mean anything under these circumstances it's just the way it's set up by the NCAA right now
Stop what? the truth?
You're being theatrical to say they are going in the portal as a negotiation tactic. What negotiation is Powell making? "2 for 1 Big Mac coupons and a 24 pack of Rainier and I'll start at any team in the Big 12!"
Some are leaving and some are just covering their bases
Go in the portal and see what schools are interested in them. Come back and say, "I've got this offer from this school, are you willing to match it?"
