College football is very different now than it was two decades ago, as it has never been easier for players to transfer if they want to change teams. Although there used to be more restrictions for transfers, now they usually can play immediately at their new school as long as they meet the proper deadlines.
As a result, many college football stars of yesteryear can’t relate to stars of the present. For Peyton and Eli Manning, the transfer portal is such a foreign concept that they don’t have a distinctly positive or negative opinion of it.
“I think the goal is to try to get it right the first time and to spend a lot of time making that decision,” Peyton Manning said, via Stefan Krajisnik of the Clarion Ledger. “There are lots of individual cases. I can’t speak for everybody. I want the kids to have a good college football experience.”
