  • Resumen

  • It's certainly a period of intense activity and, for many programs in the Big 12 (and across the nation), a source of both opportunity and significant challenge during the football transfer portal windows. While "suffering" might be a strong and perhaps overly generalized term, there are definitely common anxieties and hurdles that schools like BYU, Iowa State, Colorado, Utah, and UCF are navigating.Here's a look at some of the pressures and potential "suffering" points each of these programs might be experiencing in the transfer portal:BYU:Rebuilding and Maintaining Momentum: After a solid first season in the Big 12, BYU is likely looking to bolster specific positions to compete at a higher level consistently. The challenge lies in attracting Power Five-caliber talent while also retaining key players who might be tempted by other opportunities.NIL Competition: BYU, while having a dedicated fanbase, might face challenges competing with the potentially larger NIL collectives at some of the more established Big 12 programs or those with deeper financial pockets.Finding the Right Fits: Integrating transfers who align with the program's culture and values is crucial for BYU. Mismatched transfers can disrupt team chemistry.Iowa State:Maintaining Consistency After Success: Coming off a strong season, Iowa State faces the pressure of maintaining that level of success. The portal can be a double-edged sword – they might lose key contributors who seek new opportunities, and they need to find replacements who can seamlessly integrate into their established system.Development vs. Portal Reliance: Coach Matt Campbell's program has historically been built on development. The increased portal activity forces a balance between developing high school recruits and relying on transfers for immediate needs.Keeping Homegrown Talent: Iowa State needs to work hard to retain its talented players who might be targeted by programs in other conferences or those offering more lucrative NIL deals.Colorado:High Visibility, High Turnover: Under Coach Deion Sanders, Colorado has experienced significant roster turnover through the portal. While this has brought in talent, it also creates constant churn and the challenge of building long-term cohesion.Managing Expectations and Reality: The high-profile nature of the program attracts attention, and transfer portal additions are heavily scrutinized. Ensuring these additions translate to on-field success and fit the team dynamic is a constant pressure.NIL Sustainability: Maintaining the financial backing for a large number of transfers, especially with potentially high NIL demands, can be a long-term challenge.Utah:Sustaining Success in a New Conference: After years of success in the Pac-12, Utah is adjusting to the Big 12 landscape. They need to strategically use the portal to fill gaps and enhance their roster to compete with established Big 12 contenders.Replacing Key Departures: Any program that loses key starters or experienced players to the portal faces the challenge of finding immediate and capable replacements. This can be particularly difficult at crucial positions.Navigating the New Rivalries: The dynamics of the Big 12 rivalries, including the renewed one with BYU and the existing ones with Colorado and Arizona, add another layer to portal activity as players might be more inclined to stay or leave based on these rivalries.UCF:Building a Power Five Foundation: As a newer member of the Big 12, UCF is actively using the portal to upgrade its roster to consistently compete at the Power Five level. This involves attracting players who have experience or potential to excel in a tougher conference.Establishing a Consistent Culture: With significant roster changes through the portal, maintaining a strong and unified team culture can be a challenge. Integrating new players while preserving the program's identity is crucial.Recruiting Against Established Brands: UCF might face competition from more historically established Big 12 programs when targeting transfers. They need to offer a compelling vision and opportunity to attract top talent.Common "Suffering" Points Across the Big 12:Beyond the individual program challenges, there are broader issues affecting many Big 12 teams in the transfer portal:Roster Volatility: The constant influx and outflow of players make long-term roster planning and development more difficult.Team Chemistry Concerns: Integrating a large number of new players each year can impact team chemistry and cohesion, which are vital for success.NIL Arms Race: The pressure to provide competitive NIL packages to attract and retain players is a financial strain for many programs.Uncertainty and Anxiety: Coaches and players alike face uncertainty during the portal windows. Players might be unsure of their roles, and coaches might lose key contributors unexpectedly.Time Commitment: Managing the transfer portal – recruiting potential additions and managing departing ...
