    The Transfer Portal has come, not gone anywhere, and made everyone in the world of college football a little less sane. With no consistent regulation, standard of practice or governing body with the ability to keep things in check, both schools, and agents, have taken full advantage of every loophole they can find. From the heart of SEC Country, Dave Shumate joins the show to talk all things portal and college football. A quick look at Ohio State and Notre Dame leads into the SEC where the Auburn Tigers seem to be putting the right pieces together.
