Regrettably, I see this most recent development (Mulkey & LSU) as an indication to where college sports is heading; the end of amateur sports as we knew it.
I must concede the fact that we are equally responsible, as HVL‘s NIL money started at UL and in all fairness, we have utilized the portal as much as anyone. I, by no means, am critical of Jeff, as he is only doing what he can to keep us competitive with the rest.
Only a matter of time before schools like South Dakota State will become the equivalent of the G-league to the NBA; their talent being poached by the sharks looking for help.
