Nearly half of Iowa State’s football roster has vanished in just a month, with 42 players—16 of them starters—leaving after Coach Matt Campbell’s exit. The transfer portal, now likened to a wild “auction barn,” is letting players chase the biggest NIL deals, not team culture or coaching. With new coach Jimmy Rogers scrambling to rebuild, the Cyclones are down to just 32 scholarship players, many with little experience. This chaos is sparking big questions: Is the NCAA doing enough to protect programs and players? Can any team build real cohesion with this much turnover? What’s your take on the transfer portal’s impact? #Sports #IowaState #NCAA
