Iowa's Kirk Ferentz suggests NIL, transfer portal have ended 'structure' in modern college football landscape

Longtime Iowa Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz is not one to shy away from sharing his perspective as relates to the considerable amount of change facing college football programs. The upheaval seems to have been propelled by the advent of name, image, and likeness (NIL) and the transfer portal.

Ferentz suggested that the portal and NIL have essentially deregulated collegiate sports. However, Ferentz also acknowledges that the more wide-open nature of the transfer portable has worked to the Hawkeyes' benefit at times.
