The way we live is very different from the way our fathers lived. The only thing we can be assured of is things are always changing. Very few athletes, young adults, and children have ascribed to the idea of remaining at 1 university or college throughout their entire collegiate athletic career. Haven’t really thought about it before but it kinda mirrors the workplace compared to my/my father’s time. Kids change jobs today like they change underwear, if they wear any.

And this is so much more costly, but they don't have to deal with costs. Only the suckers do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few athletes, young adults, and children have ascribed to the idea of remaining at 1 university or college throughout their entire collegiate athletic career. I've found the mentality of "what have you done for me lately" so much more prevalent than "What can I do to make this team better". It's unfortunate for the fans, but I suppose for most people who grow up in a time where they are taught that money and "me first" are so much easier to achieve than the hard work, and loyalty that breeds good friends and good moral values in life. Easy way out should never be taught, unless it comes with the smarter way to do things. *random rant/observation over* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I had a few jobs while in high school at diner, McD's then a jewelry store(also while in college) I worked my whole 31 year career at 1 job. As you guys have said, different times.

Winning will help. Moving up to a power 5 conference will help. The OCS can only but help. Figuring out the NIL will help. In the end its up to a coach to convince players that staying at USF is in their best interest. Either way every team in the AAC will be in the same boat regarding the transfer portal. So it can't become an excuse for not winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had learned this earlier. Then started doubling, tripling, and quadrupling salary. It's a dumb hustle. There's no loyalty from these companies anyway. Get out there and rock, and roll the bones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
