[QUOTE="IlliniCaboose, post: 1981689, member: 19147"] Read the first 6 or so pages and not the rest so please pardon me if this has been discussed. I'm 100% in favor of NIL I'm 100% in favor of players getting 1 free transfer But it's games like this that get me thinking. Do rivalries only matter to us fans anymore? Before the game I saw a video of former players talking about Braggin' Rights and now much they hated Mizzou. Is that gone forever now? If our best players are going to be transfers, only here for a year or 2 at most, is there enough time for the guys on the team to build up hostility for games like this? Listening to Dee talk about how much he hated Mizzou just got me thinking. If we are in the business of going after hired guns every year where does the animosity come from? Don't get me wrong, I'm all for whatever gets us the best team possible. I'm more just wondering out loud if team (read player) rivalries are even going to be a thing going forward? All I'm saying is I want every player on the team to hate Mizzou, Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin, etc. as much as I do, but I fear that will never be the case again. Just sad if this is a casualty of the new system. [/QUOTE]
