Point made by most that it allow players who are down on the depth chart to find a school which playing time will be available. Do not fault them for that, it's an experience that will follow them for the rest of their lives. Even if they do not make it to the NFL. But the issue which could harm college football is that with the players entering the portal, and who are opting out of bowl games, will team be able to field enough players to even play in a bowl? Realize that some will say who cares about the bowls unless it's for the college football championship. But it's an honor to lots of kids who worked hard throughout the season to earn this privilege.
