In a weird way the transfer portal and NIL probably help the service academies. Teamwork is still a huge part of the game and the constant transfers hurt that. The lesser teams also lose their better players after a season or two to the bigger programs, which makes up the majority of Army’s schedule.
I really hope Army can keep their undefeated streak alive. It’s been a real pleasure to see a service school do so well in an age of NIL Deals.
